East Windsor police have arrested a man accused of trying to steal over $3,200-worth of Apple watches from Walmart.
Middletown resident Curtis Belin, 51, was arrested Saturday on larceny charges.
According to police, Belin broke into a storage cabinet behind the counter of the Electronics Department at Walmart and tried to steal the Apple watches by placing them in a shopping cart and covering them with clothing. When Belin realized he’d been spotted by an employee, he tried to take off. Police caught up with him at the entrance of the store.
Belin was charged with criminal attempt to commit larceny. Police said he has over 40 prior arrests in Connecticut.
A woman who was with Belin, identified as Debra McCain, 48, of Indian Orchard, Mass., was also arrested when officers found a black and silver BB gun that looked like a real gun in her car. She was charged with weapons in a motor vehicle.
Both Belin and McCain are scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 28.
