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.
