Moving Company Employee Stole Jewelry: Police

Police have arrested an employee for a moving company who they said admitted to stealing jewelry from a customer in South Windsor. 

The victim contacted police in August and said she noticed jewelry was missing after she hired a moving company. 

When police interviewed one of the movers, 21-year-old Austin Martinez, of Manchester, he admitted taking some jewelry and selling it on the street, police said. 

Police obtained a warrant charging Martinez with third-degree larceny and served it on Monday. 

He was then released on $10,000 surety bond and is due in Manchester Superior Court on Oct. 6.
