ALAMEDA — Police have released video that shows two men stealing laptops from customers at the Starbucks at Park Street and Central Avenue.

It happened Sept. 4 and shortly after the same two men tried to steal a customer’s laptop at the Starbucks at 2671 Blanding Ave., which was also caught on tape.

Both suspects are African-American men between 18 and 20 years. One was wearing a black hoody, black jeans and red tennis shoes. The second was wearing a black knit cap, a blue shirt and baggy blue jeans.

Alameda investigators think the men may be responsible for the theft of other laptops from cafe customers in the city. The men also may be connected to similar thefts in other parts of the Bay Area, according to police.
