Former Norwalk CT Home Depot cashier accused of stealing merchandise
NORWALK CT Oct 11 2017 — A former Home Depot cashier was arrested on larceny charges Monday after police say he failed to scan more than $1,600 worth of items for people he knew.
James Garcia, 26, of Oak Street was charged with fourth-degree larceny after a months-long investigation by store loss prevention personnel.

The total of the merchandise was $1,604.83, police said.
A warrant for Garcia’s arrest was obtained and he was arrested on Monday morning.
Garcia’s bond was set at $5,000 and he was given a court date of Oct. 13.
