Police: Painter stole jewelry from home
A Great Neck man was arrested Monday in the theft of jewelry from a home he painted in May, Nassau County police said.
Police said Jorge Castro, 44, of 37 Cumberland Ave., was arrested and charged with third-degree grand larceny.
He is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
Police said Castro stole three pieces of jewelry May 19 from a jewelry box in a bedroom of the home on Ira Road in Syosset.
They said Castro returned two of the pieces after being confronted by the homeowner -- but didn't return the third.
It was not immediately clear when the theft was reported.
The value of the missing item also was not known.
