A couple of would-be thieves spent hours breaking into a liquor store on the city's west side.
The entire attempt -- from start to finish -- was caught on surveillance video.
This was no easy task. It took the would be thieves nearly 2 hours to break through A metal door, A glass door and then a metal gate
When they finally got in to New Joy Express - dragging trash cans with them – they were after two things: liquor and cigarettes.
It happened last month, but the storeowner called 7 Action News after seeing a similar story we aired on Monday night - brazen thieves throwing bottles of liquor in trash cans at a liquor store.
It's unclear whether the break-ins are related.
The thieves in the New Joy Express robbery were out of luck. They couldn’t get to the liquor and cigarettes.
However, they did cause almost $4,800 in damage to 5 doors.
