The the two suspects wearing black clothing are captured on surveillance footage shattering the glass front door of Amai Coffee at 1701 Pico Boulevard at around 4:34 a.m.

The first suspect is described as a male of average build wearing a black sweater, black face mask, blue jeans and black shoes.

The second suspect is also a male of average build wearing a black FILA sweater with white lettering, a red face mask, black pants and black shoes.

The men fled from the scene in a white or silver sedan of unknown make and model, police said in a post on X.

"Although no items were reported stolen, the forced entry caused approximately $1,000 in damage to the storefront," according to the post.

"A similar burglary occurred at this location three months ago, and a neighboring business, Dr. T House, was also targeted around the same time."

Anyone who recognizes the suspects or vehicle, or have any information that can assist in the investigation should contact Detective Sean Baker (sean.baker@santamonica.gov ) or Detective Sergeant Shaun Cooney (Shaun.Cooney@santamonica.gov) at 310-458-8932 or call 310-458-8491.
