NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police need your help finding two men who tried to burglarize a Frankford cell phone store.



Surveillance cameras captured one of the masked suspects smashing the window of the Simple Mobile Solutions Store, on the 5200 block of Torresdale Avenue, back on June 17th.



He then crawled into the store while his partner acted as a lookout.



But the would-be burglar wasn't inside for long.



The suspect accidentally triggered the alarm when he reached for the cash register.



Both fled empty-handed.



If you have any information on the break-in, call Northeast Detective Division at 215-686-3153/3154.
