Police are searching for two men accused of breaking into an insurance office last month and wrestling a female employee to the ground during the robbery.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the incident happened on Mar. 28 at Progressive San Diego located at 2110 Hancock Street, Suite #300.

At around 8:45 a.m., two men forced their way into the business and pointed guns at an employee, pushing her up against a wall while demanding the company safe.

Investigators said the men then wrestled the woman to the ground before dragging her to a back room.

The suspects then stole some of the victimโ€™s personal property and fled the scene.

The men were captured on surveillance footage pushing open doors and making their way through the business. Those images were made public by police on Wednesday.

The men remain at large, but investigators are hoping the images and video clips will bring forth new information on the suspects.
