It was 4:11 a.m. Monday when cameras captured the two men casing the exterior of The Couch Tomato Bistro, located at 102 Rector Street.

Several minutes later the same men pulled up in a late model custom conversion van, possible a Dodge.

The suspects entered the business through a rear door and once inside, stole money from cash registers. They also loaded a safe onto a shopping cart and carried it out.

The suspects fled the area in an unknown direction on Main Street.

The first suspect is described as a white male, 30-40 years-of-age, stocky build, wearing a blue baseball cap, blue and gray zip up jacket, blue jeans and black and white sneakers. The suspect also has a tattoo on the back of his neck just at the hair line.

The second suspect is described as a white male, 20 years-of-age, thin build, unshaven with goatee, blue baseball cap, blue zip up hooded jacket, dark pants and black sneakers. The suspect also walks with a hitch in his step.
