DANIA BEACH (CBSMiami) -- Broward Sheriff's deputies are searching for two burglars they say are responsible for at least 30 crimes in the county since May.

The latest of the duo's targets was Andy's Sports Bar in Dania Beach in the early morning hours of July 27th.

Surveillance cameras rolled as one man was seen smashing the front door using a cement parking bumper and slipping inside the business.  Deputies said one of the men jumped over the counter and grabbed cash from the register before getting away.

Witnesses told authorities the men were in a silver Chevrolet Malibu.

Deputies said they have also struck at various restaurants, dollar stores, bakeries and other businesses throughout the county.

Investigators said they typically strike in the early morning hours while the business is still closed. They have also been seen in a white Chrysler Pacifica.

Authorities released a description of the two bandits. They said the first one has a thin build with medium-length dreadlocks and some facial hair. He also has extensive tattoos on his left arm, hand, upper torso and back and a smaller tattoo inside his right arm.

They described the second burglars as having an athletic build with tattoos on both arms and a full beard.

Anyone with information on these bandits is urged to call Broward Crimestoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
