The men exited a grey van and stole three barrels of cooking oil from the back of South & Pine Restaurant on South Street in Morristown around 2:15 p.m., Police Capt. Stuart Greer said.
The employees initially thought that the men were contractors and did not contact anyone in the van, Greer said.
Police were called when it was confirmed that the oil had been stolen as opposed to removed by the restaurant’s contractors, Greer said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Morristown Police at 973-538-2200.
