SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has released surveillance video of a burglary at a Baskin-Robbins in San Marcos as deputies continue to investigate two break-ins at the store.

According to the department's press release, the first burglary happened around 12:30 a.m. on July 14, at the ice cream shop located in the 700 block of Nordahl Road. Two burglars used a combination to open a lockbox containing the store's key before breaking in and taking $120 in cash, the release says.

The burglars also damaged the store's security system in the process.

The second burglary happened three days later in broad daylight. At around 11:30 a.m. on July 17, two burglars shattered the same store's front glass door. The criminals located and broke into the safe, stealing about $1,500 in cash, according to deputies.

"Damage to the safe is estimated at around $2,500," the release says.

Deputies say the first burglar is about 6 feet tall and weighs roughly 180 pounds. The second burglar is roughly 5 feet and 8 inches tall and weighs around 210 pounds, the release states.

The surveillance video deputies released on Thursday, Sept. 7, is from the first burglary.
