Torrington police arrested a city employee on Wednesday, charging him in connection with the theft and sale of city-owned property.
Robert Lizotte, 60, of Bethlehem, is Torrington's Superintendent of Streets.
Detectives began an investigation in August after receiving a complaint that members of the Department of Public Works were stealing city-owned property.
The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible, according to police.
Lizotte was charged with first-degree larceny. He was released on $2,500 bond and is expected to be in court on October 24.
