On Wednesday, police were called to investigate a reported theft from the south-end building. Officers were told the theft happened on Friday and the delivery included a bathmat and a bath heater.
Investigators took a look at onsite video surveillance and were able to identify a suspect who was already known to police.
Officers later located the 46-year-old man, arrested him, and charged him with theft under $5,000.
