Police are searching for a man who allegedly burglarized a dollar store in Brownsville.

They say it happened Friday inside the 99 Cent Xpress on Pitkin Avenue.

Authorities say the suspect got in the store by breaking into the roof of a neighboring church and making an opening in the wall between the two buildings.

He took about $1,400 in cash before running off.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
