Employee Stole Over $40k in Tools From Monroe Business: Police

MONROE, CT — A Bridgeport man is facing a larceny charge after police say he stole over $40,000 in tools from his employer over a period of time, according to Monroe Police.

Michael Conway, 37, was arrested Friday following an investigation which began in December after a local business owner filed a larceny complaint with Monroe Police over the stolen tools. The name of the business where Conway was employed was not immediately released by police.
