Brooklyn Daily EagleThou shalt not st-eel.
Three not-so-slick thieves were busted near Brooklyns Chinatown Monday and charged with stealing more than $1 million worth of frozen eels from an Elizabeth, N.J. shipping terminal, police said.
The trio who were identified as Wei Da Li, 39, Sheauloon Yat, 51, and Fa Deng, 36 were charged with criminal possession of stolen property and were slated to be arraigned Tuesday.
According to cops, back on June 1 the three had used fake paperwork, supposedly from Mars Global Trading, to pick up a shipment of 2,000 boxes of eels from the terminal.
