Man Charged in Home Depot Power Tool Theft

[Editor's note: Arrest information is supplied by the Fairfield Police Department. It does not indicate convictions.]

A Bridgeport man was arrested on a warrant Sunday in connection to the theft of power tools from Home Depot last year.

Dwayne Brown, 39, of Knollwood Avenue, was charged with sixth-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit sixth-degree larceny.

Home Deport employees reported to police in November that $998 worth of power tools -- including a DeWalt and Rigid combo kits -- were stolen. After an investigation based on video surveillance supplied by Home Depot, police issued a warrant for Brown's arrest.

Brown was held in lieu of a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on March 28.
