An apparently hungry pair were busted in New Jersey for allegedly trying to steal nearly 29,000 pounds of frozen seafood worth more than $273,000 – but their scheme quickly went belly-up.
Jonathan Pollaguari, 18, of the Bronx, New York, and an unidentified juvenile were caught October 3 unloading pallets of frozen shrimp, salmon, conch meat and branzino from a refrigerated tractor-trailer into a 26-foot box truck in North Arlington, police said in a Facebook news release.
