BRONX -  A pair of ice cream thieves stole a sweet treat from a Bronx supermarket and then were caught on camera pulling a box cutter on a worker who tried to stop them, the NYPD announced. 



At around 3 pm on April 13, a man and a woman walked into a C Town Supermarket on Creston Avenue in Fordham Heights. The NYPD released surveillance video of a female walking out of the store with ice cream and carnation milk in a bag. Cops said she did not pay for it. 



When a store worker walked outside to confront the pair, the male pulled out a gray box cutter and made a menacing gesture. The worker apparently used his phone to capture the suspect’s threat with the box cutter. 



The pair walked northbound on the Grand Concourse. 


The NYPD released the photos. The first suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion and a medium build. He was last seen wearing a red puffy coat and dark blue knit cap. He also wore a backpack.
