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.
