NORWICH, Conn. (AP)- A 47-year-old Norwich man has been charged
with stealing from the donation center set up for the people left
homeless by a massive apartment complex fire.
Police say Americo Alves was caught stealing from the Peachtree
Apartments donation center on Sunday.
Police say Alves went to the donation center and tried to pass
himself off as one of the more than 160 people left homeless by the
April 26 fire.
An employee of the apartment complex was present and said Alves
was not a tenant of Peachtree Apartments.
Police say Alves left with several items but did not get far. He
was arrested and is being held on $500 bond.
