MOTT HAVEN — A trio of well-dressed thieves got dinner and a makeover with credit cards swiped from a teacher's wallet inside a South Bronx elementary school, police said.
The two credit cards and two debit cards, taken at about 6 p.m. from P.S. 18 at 502 Morris Ave. on April 15, were used at McDonald's, Walgreens and OV Nails later that day, where the suspects spent $15, $66 and $105, respectively, according to the NYPD.
Police described one suspect as a man last seen wearing black pants, glasses, a black button down shirt and a beige blazer. Another suspect was described as a woman wearing a multicolored blouse, light colored skirt and multicolored hat, and a third as a woman in tights and a green blouse.
A surveillance video captured one female suspect preparing to get a pedicure at OV Nails, the man sipping a drink from McDonald's and the other woman walking through the nail salon.
Detectives just received the recording from the salon, police said.
