Then a week later, the suspects allegedly threw a brick through the front door of Rely on Us Car Service on Jackson Avenue. They ran into an employee inside and left empty handed.

Just under two hours later, police said they broke into Good Time Deli and Grill on Alexander Avenue and stole $48 in Peanut M&M's, $450 in cash and a cash register worth $750.
