A handyman is accused of stealing loose change and more than $10,000 worth of jewelry while working at a home in Southington over a span of three days.

Police said 37-year-old Jeffrey Couture, of Terryville, turned himself in to Southington Police Tuesday after learning that there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest and he has been charged with second-degree larceny.

Couture is accused of selling some of the jewelry to area pawn shops and police were able to recover some items. They are working on finding the rest of the jewelry.

Couture was held pending a $15,000 bond.
