Three thieves cut a hole in the floor of a Bronx apartment, dropped into the room below and made off with six bags full of goods, police said.

The men broke into the Bedford Park apartment building on University Avenue near W Fordham Rd at 3:15 a.m. Feb 4 and entered a vacant apartment.

The crooks, including one who was obese, were caught on surveillance video leaving the building with large black plastic bags brimming with computer equipment, clothing and cash.
