Police are asking for the public's help identifying two men they say are wanted for multiple burglaries citywide.
The most recent incident was Dec. 20 in Dyker Heights. Police say the two men used a crowbar to break into the Dyker Heights Pharmacy on 13th Avenue just before 6 a.m. They got away with over $2,000 in narcotics.
Some residents tell News 12 they are shocked this happened in their neighborhood.
“I do feel safe on a regular basis. I walk around with my daughters a lot,” said Fallon Martin, a Dyker Heights resident.
But others say incidents like these have changed the way they operate.
"We close at 5:30 p.m. now instead of 8 because that's when they start," said George Procovas of 13th Avenue Florist.
Anyone with information on these thefts is urged to contact police.
