LOWER EAST SIDE — Police are looking for two suspects they believe hit six restaurants in a burglary spree throughout the Lower East Side in the month of April. 

The suspects, described as wearing all black, first broke into the Suffolk Arms bar at 259 Houston St. on April 3 at around 4:30 a.m., police said, making off with several bottles of alcohol and tools.

On April 26 at around 2:33 a.m., the suspects grabbed roughly $500 from the register of Dudley’s Restaurant at 85 Orchard St., police said.

On the same day, late at night, the suspects hit three other businesses and ran off with a haul of valuables, according to a police report.

The suspects entered the Sheng Wang Chinese Restaurant at 27 Eldridge St. at around 10 p.m. and stole approximately $400, an iPhone and an iPad, police said.

The thieves then entered the Ting Sing Fish Ball Restaurant at 21 Eldridge St. at 10:30 p.m. and grabbed $300, according to authorities. 

At 10:45 p.m., they broke into Erin McKenna’s Bakery at 248 Broome St. and stole roughly $1,600 from a file cabinet, police said. 

The next night, April 27 at around 12:30 a.m., the suspects took $50 from Kottu House at 250 Broome St., authorities said.

The owners of the restaurants were not immediately available for comment.

Police have released surveillance footage of the suspects in hopes it will help the public identify them.
