Police hope that surveillance video will help them solve the heist.

It happened at about 8:30 a.m. at the Convenient Grocery, 7048 Torresdale Ave. Police didn’t say what tools, if any, the two suspects used to pry open the ground-level doors, which lead into a sunken storage area. Once inside, they swiped several cartons of smokes. They fled the store toward Marsden Street.
