Two men arrested in Newark are being called career criminals; they're allegedly swiping shopping carts, making off with tens of thousands of dollars worth of them.

Police arrested 77-year-old Alfredo Rodriguez and 54-year-old Hector Cortes, calling them the "Shopping Cart Bandits."

The pair took at least 140 carts — worth nearly $30,000 potentially.
