Two men tried stealing cooking grease from an Outback Steakhouse in Orange last week, police said.
On Sept. 12, a box truck was seen in the parking lot of the closed restaurant on Marsh Hill Road, Orange Police said.
An investigation found that two men operating the truck were trying to remove the restaurant's grease from an outside container with the purpose of reselling it, police said.
Jahquay Rowe, 20, and Charles Green, 27, both of Queens, New York, were arrested on Thursday in connection to the theft.
Both men were held on at $1,000 bond and charged with sixth-degree larceny.
