MIDDLE VILLAGE — A pair of thieves are wanted for two burglaries in Queens, including one in which they broke into a RadioShack by driving a car through the store's front door in the middle of the night, according to the NYPD.

The two men drove the vehicle into the RadioShack storefront at 69-18 Metropolitan Ave. just after 2:30 a.m. on Sunday. Once inside, they took cellphones, tablets and other accessories before fleeing, police said.

Staff at the store declined to comment on the incident.

The same men burglarized another business Wednesday, when they broke the glass panel on the front door of a commercial space at 32-02 Queens Blvd. in Long Island City at 1:15 a.m., according to police.

They also stole cellphones and tablets from the second location before taking off in a truck, officials said.

Police released surveillance images of the two suspects, who are both described as between 30 and 40 years old.

The first man was bald and wore a black sweatshirt, black pants and black sneakers, while the second was seen wearing a gray and black hoodie, jeans and light-colored sneakers, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
