Brooklyn distributor’s employees nabbed in Heineken heist

They wanted free beer – but they ended up with these “mug” shots!

Two workers at a Brooklyn beer distribution company were busted by cops after swiping 84 cases of Heineken, police sources said.

Delivery drivers James Shaw, 39, and Louis Telese, 52, of Staten Island allegedly stole more than $2,500 worth of the green-bottled goodness from Phoenix Beverage in Red Hook on Oct. 24 , according to Port Authority police.

But cops caught up to the crooks not far from the beer company on Wednesday — and charged them with grand larceny, according to Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the agency.

An officer on site said two other workers were involved and all four have been fired.

Shaw and Telese were also charged with criminal possession of stolen property and conspiracy. The beer is still missing, cops said.
