Employee theft is no laughing matter. Well, usually it’s not.
But we’ll forgive you for chuckling when we tell you about the restaurant employee who tried to steal frozen lobster tails by stuffing them down his pants.
OK, now that you’ve got that visual, here are the details. The Brooklyn, NY, district attorney’s office said Raymundo Flores has been arraigned on misdemeanor charges of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
The cook at Junior’s Restaurant also tried to get away with the crustacean tails by taping them in bandages on his legs, according to the New York Post.
Flores is free without bail.
The Post wonders if Flores wasn’t actually stealing the lobster tails — maybe he was just trying to beat the heat.
