According to Lt. Farrell, officers arrested Branden Betas, 24, on an active warrant Friday night at the Newtown Police Department where he was being held.
Farrell said that Stop & Shop surveillance Nov. 26 showed Betas placing energy drinks into a bag and leaving the store without paying.
Store security positively identified Betas because he was arrested at the Bridgeport Stop & Shop for a similar crime, police said.
Charged with fourth-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny in the fourth degree, Betas was held in lieu of a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Monday, Feb. 29.
