A Parks enforcement officer was busted on a petit-larceny rap after stealing cash during an undercover “integrity” test, authorities said yesterday.

The undercover said he had found the wallet in Battery Park.
According to the DOI spokeswoman, Scott pocketed $55 from the wallet instead of logging it as lost property,
He was fired in August over the alleged theft.
