2 NYC officers charged in $1 million perfume heist

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Two New York City police officers are among five people charged with robbing about $1 million of perfume from a northern New Jersey warehouse.

Federal prosecutors say Officers Richard LeBlanca and Brian Checo and the others are scheduled to appear in Newark's federal courthouse at 2 p.m. Friday.

A third defendant, Orlando Garcia, is a former New York City police officer.

According to a complaint, the officers entered the warehouse in Carlstadt on Feb. 9, brandished guns and badges and yelled, "NYPD! Hands up!"

Federal prosecutors say 11 employees of In Style USA's warehouse were held at gunpoint.

Carlstadt police arrived after receiving a 911 call and arrested two of the suspects and seized two trucks.

There's no word if any of the suspects have lawyers.
