HARLEM — A pair of thieves stole 90 cellphones from a store on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard early Christmas morning, police said.

The two men cut the metal bars on a window in the back of the cellphone store at 2515 Seventh Ave. at  2:15 a.m. on December 25, according to the NYPD.

Surveillance video shows them crouching through the store and filling their arms with as many phones as they can carry.

One of the men, who is described as 5-foot-10 and skinny, wore a light-colored beanie and covered the bottom part of his face with a shirt. The other, who is 5-foot-8, wore a light-colored hoodie and had short black hair and a beard.

The store, 7th Avenue Wireless, could not be immediately reached for comment.

The NYPD is asking anyone with information about the identity or whereabouts of the men to call 1-800-577-8477.
