A father and son are facing charges of falsifying records and grand larceny after allegedly stealing $41,000 worth of chicken wings.

Paul Rojek, 56, and son Joshua Rojek, 33, have been accused of theft at the Twin Trees Too Restaurant in Syracuse, New York, where they were both employed as cooks.

The pair were placing numerous chicken wing orders to the restaurant's wholesaler before destroying and withholding the receipts for those orders, according to the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.

They would then pick up the orders and resell the wings on the street or to other establishments at a lower price.

Local officers said the theft occurred between February and November.

The duo were charged with grand larceny in the third degree and falsifying business records in the first degree.

A judge has set their bail at $2,500.
