Two burglars made off with thousands of dollars worth of wine early Wednesday after breaking into a Mission Valley store.

Surveillance video showed the duo trying to enter the Total Wine & More store on Rio San Diego by jamming the lock on a side door at around 4:20 a.m., according to OnScene.TV.

They failed, but gained access by breaking the lock on a second door and tearing through drywall to enter the main store.

San Diego police said the burglars sought out the expensive bottles of wine, before using bolt cutters to remove a lock on the receiving bay doors in the warehouse, where they loaded up a vehicle with the merchandise.

Officers did not find anyone inside the store.
