Shelton police have arrested a man accused of stealing a gun from a car, then selling it to a local gun store.
Police arrested Jonathan Rodriguez, 22, of Derby, on Monday and charged him with theft of a firearm.
Police said the gun was stolen from a locked vehicle on Canal Street in Shelton in the spring of 2014. When investigators learned the gun was sold to a local gun store, they traced it back to Rodriguez, police said.
Rodriguez posted a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court on Sept. 3.
