Meanwhile in New York . . .

One guy decided to dance like no one was watching while at a Walmart, but people were watching and that was the plan to begin with.

Dancing dude turned out to be a distraction while his buddy managed to steal some cash while the cashier wasn’t paying attention . . . because he was distracted . . . by the guy busting a move.

One of the guys pretended to be buying three laptops with cash, then asked the cashier for the money back to count again because he “thought” he gave him too much.

That’s when dancing dude put some wiggle in it, while his buddy swiped $2,000. The cashier was so distracted he didn’t even count the money the one guy handed back.

Police in Rotterdam, NY are looking for the two guys, and released surveillance video in an effort that someone can help identify them.
