Two Brooklyn men were arrested in Essex County after police reportedly caught them engaging in suspicious activity involving a FedEx delivery driver.
According to police, officers on patrol around 11:30 a.m. noticed a vehicle illegally parked behind a FedEx delivery van. Two men were standing on opposite sides of the delivery driver.
When the men spotted police, they allegedly attempted to return to their vehicle. One was carrying what appeared to be a sealed cardboard package.
Authorities said the vehicle matched the description of a suspicious car previously reported near Courter and Summit avenues.
Following an investigation at the scene, officers arrested Abdoul Barry, 23, and Harvey Suscal, 23, both of Brooklyn, New York.
The men face charges related to obstruction, fraud and receiving stolen property. Both were transported to the Essex County Correctional Facility.
