A daring robber returned to Astoria's Parisi Bakery on two separate occasions, stealing money from the bakery's cash register. Surveillance video captured footage of the man, who broke into the bakery at 2:40 a.m. on December 27th and again just after midnight on New Year's Day. On his two visits, he stole a combined $1,900 from the store.
