This makes no cents.
The teen heroes who nabbed subway arson killer Sebastian Zapeta-Calil have been denied the $10,000 reward promised by the NYPD — allegedly because they called the wrong phone number to report it, The Post has learned.
The trio of eagle-eyed high school basketball players — who spotted the firebug on a Queens-bound F train hours after he allegedly burned a woman to death — were told by the reward administrators that they were ineligible for the cash because they called 911 to report their sighting instead of the Crimes Stoppers tip line.
“I think it’s such B.S. that you have to call this exact number. Most people call 911,” the father of one of the boys, Navid, told The Post.
“[Getting the money] is not why they did it, but it would be nice. This was a heinous crime and this man was caught right away because of them.”
