Police: Suspect at Connecticut courthouse robbed cars while waiting to answer larceny charge

VERNON (AP) -- Police say a Hebron man who appeared at Rockville Superior Court to answer a larceny charge used a pause in the proceedings to break into several cars in front of the courthouse.

Police say the arrest of 50-year-old Thomas Peno on Wednesday was his 40th.

He is accused of taking a GPS unit and a cell phone and inadvertently trying to sell the GPS unit to its owner. An argument ensued, attracting the attention of several people, one of whom called police.

Peno was taken into custody by judicial marshals.

He is to be arraigned Thursday on burglary, larceny and breach of peace charges and was held on $25,000 bail.

If he worked for BP he would be called 'Efficient' and praised for using his time to be productive.
