BRONX - A pair of crooks in the Bronx took the shoplifting problem to a whole other level. Cops are looking for two men who drove up to a construction contractor with a flatbed truck, loaded up and just drove off with the building materials.  


It all happened inside the Zerega Industrial Park last weekend on October 28. At around 1:40 pm, the flatbed truck pulled up in front of a construction business at 1066 Zerega Avenue. Surveillance camera captured the men in broad daylight loading bags of concrete mesh materials onto the flatbed. Cops say the materials are valued at $8,000. 




A 36-year-old female employee who spotted the theft in progress, ran over to the truck and attempted to stop the crooks. Cops say one of the perps threatened her with bodily harm. 





The crooks then hopped into the truck and drove off with the construction materials. 





Police released surveillance videos of the suspects and the truck in an attempt to catch the phony contractors. It is unclear if the crooks robbed the construction company to use the materials on their own job site or sell it to shady contractors on the black market.
