QUEENS — A burglar smashed his way into a Rego Park cellphone store last week door to steal pricey electronics like iPads, authorities said.

The suspect broke through the front door a Sprint store located on the ground floor of the Rego Center at 61-35 Junction Boulevard during the early morning of July 5, police sources said.

He stole electronics, including two iPads and a Galaxy cell phone, authorities said.

It took the burglar less than two minutes to enter, snatch the items and flee the location, sources said.

Similar incidents occurred in the area in early June, sources said.
