An East Side grocery store manager wouldn’t let three knife-wielding thieves get away with a bundle — a bundle of compacted cardboard boxes, that is.
Milton Rivera, of the Milton Williams Supermarket on East 81st Street, called 911 with the thieves’ license plate number.
Cops arrested Toure Mahamadou, 25, Sadabe Sekou, 39, and Latil Serge, 21, all of Newark, whose truck allegedly continued 37 bundles worth $5,550 when sold to recycling centers.
“I wasn’t scared when they pulled the knife,” Rivera said.
