Bandits nabbed in Dyker Heights, charged with theft of $1 million in frozen eels

Brooklyn Daily Eagle

Thou shalt not st-eel.

Three not-so-slick thieves were busted near Brooklyn’s 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.
