SUNNYSIDE — A man kicked in the front glass door of a Queens pizzeria on Sunday and took off with $500 in cash from the register, according to police.
The suspect broke into Lenny's Pizzeria, at 44-08 Greenpoint Ave., at about 2:30 a.m., and swiped the money before fleeing on foot, police said.
Video released by the NYPD shows the man pacing in front of the eatery talking on a cell phone, then laying down on the sidewalk to kick in the restaurant's door. Inside, he's shown riffling through the cash registers and pulling out wads of bills.
