The New York Police Department is looking for two suspects in connection to a string of air pump thefts from gas stations in Brooklyn and Queens.
Authorities say the 17-incident chain started on December 29, and the most recent incident was on April 3. In each instance, the suspects use vehicles with tow hooks and chains to take coin-operated air pumps.
The pumps have had anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Sick idea
A few thousand dollars? It’s hard to imagine that that many quarters would fit in the machine. Sounds like bogus insurance claims.
