Surveillance cameras captured a masked man breaking into a Hollywood cellphone repair shop to steal hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise.
The burglary happened at around 2 a.m. Wednesday at iShop Cell Phone Repair on 1803 North 68th Ave. The whole ordeal happened in two minutes.
The footage shows a man wearing a red bandana on his face using a shopping cart to bust through the shop's glass storefront. He then reaches through the opening he made to unlock the door and get inside.
In a matter of seconds, he then uses what appears to be a concrete block to shatter a display case and then steals $400 worth of international phones.

"He's not even gonna make money off of it," said owner Jeremias Berganza. "They don't even work here."
Berganza just opened the shop a few months ago. He owns another cellphone shop in Miami Gardens, where back in June, a man wearing a box over his head was caught on camera stealing $16,000 worth of merchandise.
Berganza believes he knows who broke into his Hollywood store.

"I have my suspicions, and I'm almost 100% sure that it's the same guy, one person that walked in last week asking questions and things like that," he said. "I know because he's wearing the same exact clothing."
