Man Make Sign of the Cross Before Smash-N-Grab Burglary

This man may need more than a prayer after police say he broke into a New York City store to steal some clothes.

The burglar who police say used a brick to break into a clothing store in Brooklyn was seen on surveillance video making the sign of the cross before his crime rage.

On March 22 around 5 a.m., the man used the large brick to smash the front glass door of Ziani Brooklyn on Avenue U in Gravesend to get inside, according to the NYPD. Once he was inside, he swiped about 20 pieces of clothing off the shelves and fled the store heading northbound on East First Street, police said.

Newly released surveillance footage shows the man, outside during the height of the latest nor'easter to hit the tri-state, making the sign of the cross outside the building before he is seen taking the brick and throwing it the door and the sprinting inside, grabbing the clothes and darting off.
