[From article]
Cyrus, a member of the Brooklyn North Narcotics squad, entered the Yemen Deli and Grocery store on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant last Friday night with several other cops after receiving a tip the employees were selling the loose cigarettes.
Surveillance video shows Cyrus stuffing a wad of bills into his pocket as the officers conducted a search of the store after arresting Faladh Al Awadhy, 23 and Ghazi Alkasri, 34 and charging them with selling unstamped cigarettes.
It wasn’t until the following day that store owner Ali Abdullah noticed the money was missing from a cigar box he kept under the counter, he said, adding that the money was supposed to go toward the businesses’ rent.
“At first I’m thinking my employees took the money,” he said. “I had to ask them where did the money go. They were mad that I accuse them.”
Abdullah went back and looked at the store’s elaborate 12 camera surveillance system and witnessed the cop emptying the cigar box and then pocketing the money.
