A man burglarized two businesses on the same Forest Hills block last month, stealing more than $7,000 in cash, police said.

The suspect first broke into VIP Barber Shop at 64-33 108th St. around 3 a.m. on Sept. 5 by going through a skylight, according to authorities. Once inside, he took a Samsung TV and $100 in cash.

Just 30 minutes later and a few doors down, he entered a food store, Berezka, at 64-51 108th St., through a basement door and stole $7,000 in cash, cops said.

Police have released a photo of the suspect and said he was seen exiting and entering a small sedan.
