Police said they didn’t have to go far to find it, either.
Craig Lannin, 57, a construction worker who’s lived in town all his life, stole it on Nov. 28 while working at Bici, a modern Italian restaurant on East Main Street, Ramsey Police Detective Jaclyn Sabatelli said.
Lannin, who records show had prior arrests, lives a mile and a half due north of downtown.
Police charged him with theft and criminal mischief and released him pending court action.
Police Chief Brian Lyman thanked “all those involved in bringing this case to a swift and positive conclusion.”
He didn’t elaborate.
