The owner of a Morris Heights bodega and members of the United Bodegas of America are speaking out after $100,000 was stolen from the business. A $10,000 reward has been put in place in hopes that someone will come forward to bring the thieves who stole from Los Castillos Mini Market to justice.
Surveillance video shows two men opening the closed door behind the registers, opening the drawers and taking the money. Investigators say they came through the back door and opened it with a crow bar.
