Police say this pair plundered a West St. construction site two days in a row.
Cops are hunting a delinquent duo wanted for looting the same West St. construction site twice in as many days.
The crooks’ first invasion of the Downtown worksite near Rector St. occurred on Jan. 24 at 9:49 p.m., when they snuck in through a rear door and nabbed an iPad, PC laptop, and some keys before fleeing, according to police.
The thieves returned the very next day through the same door at just after 9 p.m., this time grabbing seven Dell laptops and four iPads, cops said.
The police department has released a few choice shots of the suspects taken from the worksite’s security feed.
