A slick pair of alleged thieves pulled off a high-end heist, swiping a $4,000 bottle of rare cognac from a posh Arizona steakhouse, shocking staff who say they’ve never seen anything like it.
Surveillance video from the Three Thirty Three Restaurant in Tempe shows the moment the couple allegedly made their move on May 4, calmly lifting a prized bottle of Louis XIII cognac.
