VIDEO: NYPD Detective Pockets $2,650 During a Loose Cigarette Sting

Some will say it just isn't proof. Others will say not possible. And then there will be those that might even say that it's not money because we can't see the serial numbers...aw hell I don't know what everyone will say but I will say it myself...

BUSTED!

At least this NYPD detective didn't kill someone for selling loose cigarettes. Instead, he allegedly stole $2,650, perhaps as a way of rewarding himself for a job well done. Ian Cyrus, a 12-year veteran of the department, was helping his fellow officers conduct the raid after a store employee allegedly sold loose cigarettes to an undercover officer. They took $593 from the cash register as well as packs of cigarettes as evidence, WABC-TV reported. But deli owner Ali Abdullah noticed something else was missing — about $2,650 in rent funds hidden in a box under the store's counter. After looking at the security footage, the money appeared to have disappeared into Cyrus's pocket. The moment comes around the 1:20 mark in the video [above]. Ian Cyrus, the detective seen in the video stuffing the wad of cash in his pocket, has been suspended, but not arrested.

Caught on tape and still only suspended? If you or I were caught on video pocketing a chocolate bar at the local 7-11 we would immediately be arrested because the evidence is all on tape right?

I wonder if this is common and many shop owners don't catch it? Methinks so.

2 sets of laws.

Damn! lol

But, repetition is the basis of learning and retention isn't it?

Sorry Jude. I saw the story and my jaw hit the floor. Ergo, I had to post it.

My bad

How bold of him. Pocketing the cash as he hands the bag to his partner.

As for the store, I hope they do something a little more secure with their rent box since everyone now knows where it is.
