A Riverdale restaurant is picking up the pieces after two masked thieves broke in early Sunday morning.
The break-in happened around 4:35 a.m. at Bokaguá Restaurant, located at 3541 Riverdale Ave.
Surveillance video shows one man ripping a cash register from the bar, while another stands outside with a backpack.
The NYPD says the burglars got away with $6,200 from the register.
Catalina Ramos, the manager, says her cleaning staff discovered the damage just before brunch service.
“My bar was destroyed. All my glass was broken, the fridges were open, my office door was broken. Just a disaster," Ramos said.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the NYPD.
