Stupid Criminal Story Hits “Jungle”

Like Brooke Shields’ TV show “Lipstick Jungle” didn’t have enough problems—now they have a crook in their midst. A stage manager has been charged with 13 counts of grand larceny and three counts of petit larceny after getting nabbed for swiping more than $30,000 worth of designer goodies from the set.

The NY Post reports that Arthur Moreira allegedly made off with articles from Fendi, Gucci, Prada and  Burberry from a Brooklyn warehouse where props are stored. What finally did him in was trying to sell five handbags which had been loaned to the show by high-end designer Toledano. The bags were never returned and a sharp-eyed Toledano employee spotted the bags for sale on eBay.

The DA’s office caught Moreira in their sting last week, when he sold an agent a Toledano bag for $500 and a Burberry coat for $1,400, bragging to investigators that the items “fell off the back of a truck.” 

No, dummy. Tony Soprano could get away with that but you can’t.
