MIDTOWN — A pair of thieves stole nearly $3,000 worth of nail polish from a Duane Reade in Midtown — marking the latest heist from a location that's been hit multiple times before, the NYPD said.

Two men entered the store at 22 W. 48th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, around 10 p.m. on Oct. 14, grabbing 165 bottles of nail polish worth $2,850 off the shelves before fleeing, police said. 

It was not clear which brand of nail polish the thieves stole.

Neither of the suspects had been arrested as of Monday, the NYPD said.

In July, police arrested a serial thief who stole nearly $9,000 worth of nail polish from Duane Reades across Manhattan, including multiple thefts at the same West 48th Street outpost.

A manager working at the Duane Reade on Thursday declined to comment.
