Fake Amazon workers steal $100K after breaking into Bronx home, cracking safe


Call it Amazon Slime!

Two crooks dressed as Amazon delivery workers made off with around $100,000 after a brazen burglary the Bronx last week, cops said.

On Sept. 17 around 9:20 a.m., the thieves broke into a home through its front door near Ellis and Castle Hill Aves. in Unionport, going on to crack a safe inside that contained documents and money.

Instead of making a delivery, the phony deliverymen make a large withdrawal — of $100,000 from a safe they cracked inside the home, police said. (NYPD)

The men, both sporting Amazon vests — plus balaclava-style masks, black baseball caps and sunglasses — fled on foot heading east toward Ellis Ave., where they then hopped into a parked white Kia Telluride SUV. The thieves then drove off heading north on Havemeyer Ave.

No one was injured in the incident.

The robbers made their getaway not in an Amazon van but in white Kia SUV, according to cops. (NYPD)
