Two arrested for stealing traffic cameras

Two idiots have been arrested for using a cherry-picker to steal nearly 20 percent of the city’s red light cameras in New York.

Idiots Anthony Cintorrino, 45, and Tara LaBurt, 29, used a pickup truck with a cherry-picker to steal the cameras between June 24th and July 19th, to help finance their heroin addictions.

I guess they sold an estimated $88,000 worth of parts from the cameras to a camera resale shop for $300 each .

Cintorrino was being held on $8,000 bond Tuesday while LaBurt was being held on $3,000 bond.
The New York city Department of Transportation visited each site daily and knew within a day when they were missing and replaced the cameras within 48 hours of being detected as missing.

I can imagine that the courts didn’t think the guys were worth much because Cintorrino was being held on $8,000 bond while LaBurt was being held on only $3,000.
