HOLLYWOOD (CBSMiami) -- Police are hoping video released of a bold burglary at a cell phone store in Hollywood can help catch the crooks involved.

It happened early Friday, May 27th on 29th Avenue, just north of Sheridan Street.

Three burglars made their way in -- going thru the wall.

"They drilled a hole just large enough for the three of them to fit thru the wall, they made their in, the information we have it was a very organized manner, so they knew what they were doing," said Jaime Hernandez with the Hollywood Police Dept.

Once inside, the guys got busy quickly and efficiently, cleaning the place out using a blanket to move their haul.

"They put a blanket on the floor of the business and they just started grabbing cell phones and piling them on to the blanket," said Hernandez.

Just a few minutes later, they dragged the loaded blanket out where two people were waiting outside.

Police said they got away with $50,000 worth of cell phones and merchandise.

If you have any information that can help lead to an arrest, there's up to a $3,000 reward. Call Crime Stoppers at (954) 394-TIPS.
