Father and son charged with stealing $41,000 in chicken wings

A father and son are facing charges for allegedly stealing $41,000 in chicken wings from a New York restaurant.

Paul Rojek, 56, and Joshua Rojek, 33, were both employed as cooks at the Twin Trees Too Restaurant in Syracuse, New York. Now, the restaurant has accused the cooks of reselling the chicken wings on the street at a discount price. 

The Onondaga County Sheriff's Office said that the pair had placed orders to the establishment's wholesaler before destroying the reciepts. The alleged crime occurred for 10 months from February through the end of November, Syracuse.com reports.

This isn't the first time the two have been accused of stealing chicken wings. The Onondaga County Sheriffs' Office said that they were also arrested back in 2014 for allegedly stealing wings from Domenick's Restaurant, WSTM-TV reports.

The father and son have been charged grand larceny and falsifying business records. A New York judge has set their bail at $2,500.
