NEW CANAAN, Conn. A Danbury man who allegedly stole toiletries from a New Canaan pharmacy is facing a pair of charges from New Canaan Police.
Paul S. Northrop, 30, of Mountain View Terrace, was charged last Wednesday with sixth-degree larceny and sixth-degree criminal attempted larceny. Police said a female employee of the CVS Pharmacy at 94 Park St. told police she saw a white man putting items from the store in his pockets. When officers arrived, they approached Northrop and found he had two deodorant products in his pockets. Police searched his vehicle and found a bottle of mouthwash, a package of dental floss and a bottle of shampoo. The items Northrop allegedly stole were worth nearly $22.
