A burglar stole more than $7,000 worth of merchandise from a new Bushwick clothing store on Myrtle Avenue early Wednesday morning, according to the owner.

Gary Guzman says his surveillance cameras recorded the thief breaking the glass door at around 3:15 a.m. He says that he had not yet installed an alarm system.

Guzman says the burglar took clothing and electronics ahead of the grand opening of his fashion boutique, Almost Famous Los Angeles.

The recording shows the burglar in a hoodie and dragging a cart full of stolen goods out of the store.

Due to the thefts, the shopkeeper says he's going to push back the opening until next month.

Police are asking anyone with information on the break-in to report it to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
