Bronx man arrested for Petit Larceny

Cortlandt, New York – On February 4, 2016, New York State Police from the Cortlandt station arrested 64-year-old Doron Avgush of the Bronx, New York, for two counts of Petit Larceny, a Class A Misdemeanor.

On February 4th, Troopers were dispatched to the Home Depot located on East Main Street in Cortlandt for a male subject in custody for shoplifting.  Loss prevention at the Home Depot reported that Avgush took copper couplings and electrical materials from the store, failing to pay for the items.
