AMBLER, PA — Two Ambler burglars who used birthday bags to hide merchandise made off with around $1,200 in goods, police said Tuesday.

The incident occurred back on April 3 at around 8:30 p.m. at the CVS on 272 E. Butler Avenue.

The "birthday bag bandits," as they were dubbed by police, walked out of the store without paying and loaded the bags up in a dark colored, four door sedan, according to authorities.
