Chappaqua Man Stole Underwear, Other Items In Westport: PD

CHAPPAQUA, NY — A Chappaqua man was arrested Thursday for having tried to steal goods from Mitchell's in Westport, Connecticut back in 2015, police said.

Richard Becker, 52, entered the store in January 2015, grabbed a sweater and bought it to a customer service desk to be returned, police said. He then picked out socks, underwear and four shirts worth $711 and was given a merchandise credit of $244.

Becker said he was Richard Becker from Darien, according to police.

Police were then called to the store in February 2015 after Mitchell's employees suspected a man was about to attempt to shoplift. Becker was apprehended and admitted to previously stealing and returning the sweater.
