$80k Toy Thief Caught: Bridgeport PD

BRIDGEPORT, CT —A man wanted in connection with stealing $80,000 worth of toys that were meant to be donated to children was arrested in Milford on an unrelated incident.

Infinite Seven was arrested by Milford Police on a warrant related to two burglary investigations. The warrant alleges that Seven burglarized businesses on Park and Naugatuck Avenues in Oct. 2018.

Bridgeport Police said they planned to serve their own arrest warrant on Seven Tuesday while he was being held at the Bridgeport Correctional Center, according to the Connecticut Post.

Storage bins at the Greater Bridgeport Christian Fellowship Church were stolen Dec. 1, police said. The toys were going to be distributed by Toys for Tots. Despite the major setback, many came together to donate toys, money and other items during the Bridgeport Christmas tree lighting.
