Dumb Criminals: Alaska Pizza Thieves Try To Sell Stolen Pies To Cops

ANCHORAGE -

Two Gambell men were arrested for burglary and theft Sunday when they stole 80 pizzas from a store and tried to sell them to the on-duty police, Alaska State Troopers wrote in a dispatch.

Troopers in Nome received reports of a burglary at the Gambell Native Store warehouse at around 10:00 a.m. Sunday in the village of Gambell.

Investigations revealed that 29-year-old John Koozaata and 21-year-old Lewis Oozeva of Gambell broke into to the warehouse early in the morning and stole five cases of frozen pizzas which amounted to 80 pizzas valued at about $1,100.

"Village police officers received their strongest investigative lead when Koozaata and Oozeva called the Gambell Police Department, attempting to sell the pizzas to the on-duty police officers," troopers wrote.
