A third rogue NYPD cop was nabbed in Yonkers yesterday in connection with a million-dollar perfume heist in New Jersey that unraveled when authorities traced rented trucks to police officers who used their real names, sources said yesterday.
Kelvin Jones, a four-year veteran, was grabbed by FBI agents after three days on the lam. The Yonkers resident was assigned to the 46th Precinct in The Bronx.
Two other NYPD cops have been busted in the caper, which took place last month in a Carlstadt warehouse after they and their cohorts hired 16 day laborers to fill rented trucks with $1 million worth of high-end perfumes, authorities said.
The plan fell apart when the officers used their real IDs to rent the trucks, the feds said.
Among those arrested were Officers Richard LeBlanca, 25, and Brian Checo, 24, both of the 34th Precinct in Washington Heights, and their childhood pal, retired cop Orlando Garcia, 35.
