ASTORIA — A group of thieves scaled the fence of the popular Bohemian Hall Beer Garden last week and made off with several bottles of booze, according to the NYPD.
But two of the bungling bandits were spotted on surveillance footage with their shirts pulled up over the backs of their heads, leaving their faces perfectly visible.
Police said the three suspects struck at the historic beer hall on 24th Avenue early Tuesday morning, with two of them scaling the fence in the back while a third served as a lookout.
The two who went inside snatched bottles of vodka, tequila, bourbon, scotch, rum and gin, according to police.
Surveillance photos of the suspects released by the NYPD show three men standing outside the beer garden's gate, while another image shows two of the suspects inside the bar with their t-shirts pulled up partially over their heads.
The beer garden did not immediately return a call for comment.
