Maybe he was trying to beat the heat. A Brooklyn restaurant cook is accused of stealing frozen lobster tails by stuffing them down his pants.
The Brooklyn district attorney's office said Tuesday that Raymundo Flores has been arraigned on misdemeanor charges of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Co-workers called 911 on Sunday to report a crustacean caper at the walk-in freezer at Junior's Restaurant. Police say they found lobster tails that Flores allegedly had hidden in his pants and in bandages on his legs.
Flores, a Manhattan resident, has been freed without bail. He's due back in court on July 3.
The name of his attorney could not immediately be determined.

If he's willing to risk lobsters down his pants, he deserves them.

frostbite and lacerations seems like a high price, even for lobster. Now, if there was a risotto side, well, then maybe...

Sometimes you just gotta put a frozen lobster down your pants.
