Mike Vitale, owner of local bar Torch, is stunned after two men came into his bar around closing time midnight and used two stolen credit cards to buy two painting by Julio Cotto and also distracted staff so they could walk out with two more paintings.
Crazily blazon. I highly recommend watching NBC News 2’s video account.
