NE Cobb Teen Accused of Stealing from Grandmother

A Northeast Cobb teen is accused of stealing coins worth $20,000 from his grandmother.

Crysostomos Stefanos Kavadellas, 18, was arrested Saturday in connection with that theft and another incident in which $7,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from a home in the 1200 block of Morgan Chase Terrace.

Both alleged thefts occurred sometime between Feb. 1 and April 14, according to a Cobb County criminal warrant. The coins, which were never recovered, were taken from a home in the 2500 block of Wenatchee Drive.

"Jewelry items were removed from the home by the accused, without the consent of the owner, for the purpose of selling the items in pawn shops or gold-buying stores," a Cobb County police officer wrote in the warrant.

While none of the coins were recovered during the investigation, authorities did recover $5,500 worth of jewelry from GoldMax, records show.

Kavadellas faces charges that include two counts of theft by taking and one count of theft by deception. He is being held in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center in lieu of $25,000 bond.
