WATERLOO | An Evansdale man has been arrested after a local business found its stolen equipment for sale on an internet auction site.
Waterloo police arrested Steven Michael Little, 40, of 330 Norman Ave., Saturday at the police station for first-degree theft. He was released from jail later that day.
According to court records, officials at Con Agra Foods, 2701 Midport Blvd., called police in October after noticing the disappearance of four Keyence computerized controllers for high-speed cameras.
The theft, which apparently occurred Sept. 20, was captured on video tape, and during the investigation, officers learned there were four Keyence controllers for sale on eBay. Police linked the eBay user name of the seller to Little and obtained a search warrant for his home, records state. They found four controllers and four high-speed cameras in a kitchen cabinet, records state.
The total amount of the stolen property was estimated at $15,600.
