A Riverhead man is facing grand larceny charges in connection with the alleged theft of $11,000 worth of assorted merchandise from Home Depot on Route 58 last fall.
Police said Charles Lamb, 45, removed merchandise from the store without paying five times between Sept. 3 and Dec. 11. The merchandise consisted mostly of “high-end faucets and surveillance system cameras,” police said in a press release this evening.
After a lengthy investigation, Riverhead detectives were able to identify the suspect involved and link him to the thefts, police said.
Lamb surrendered to police this afternoon, according to the police report.
He was charged with five counts of Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a Class E felony. Lamb was processed, arraigned in Riverhead Justice Court and remanded to the Suffolk County Correctional Facility, police said.
