PORTLAND — Portland police today charged a local man with felony theft and forgery, accusing him of stealing a wallet, a purse and blank checks in three separate thefts.
Darius Pelletier, 30, was charged with stealing checks taken in a burglary in the West End last month. Police say they have surveillance video of Pelletier cashing the stolen checks. They say he stole or tried to steal about $2,000 from the accounts of the three victims.
Police had been looking for Pelletier to charge him with theft, forgery and misuse of credit information in connection with the theft of a wallet from a locker at Planet Fitness Dec. 28 and a purse from a health care office on Sewall Street Dec. 30.
Patrol officers found Pelletier over the weekend on Cumberland Avenue and arrested him in connection with those incidents.
