Not on Par -- Man Faces Charges He Swiped Golf Clubs from Glastonbury Residents

The fancy golf-club pilfering thief who plagued some Glastonbury residents apparently is a West Hartford man who Glastonbury Police say they arrested on Wednesday.

According to a WTIC report, police who obtained an arrest warrant, Justin Scalise, 22, of West Hartford, surrendered to police Wednesday and is facing burglary, conspiracy and larceny charges.

He’s accused of swiping golf clubs from cars and garages earlier this year and reselling them to a golf outlet in Hartford. As previously reported, the thief was caught on a security video cam, and was well-dressed in a dress shirt and khakis — the typical golf club uniform.

Scalise apparently was unable to post $50,000 bond.
