HERKIMER, N.Y. — A Herkimer man was arrested after allegedly pilfering more than $5,000 worth of items through the self-checkout lane at a major home-improvement store in the town of Herkimer.
Steven D. Vitalo, 29, was charged with third-degree grand larceny and second-degree falsifying business records, according to the New York State Police.
