    Hamden, CT (WFSB) — A man is accused of stealing $200,000 worth of seafood from a business in Hamden.

Police said they arrested 57-year-old Lance Graver, an assistant manager for the business.

Police said they responded to Fish Market on State Street back in April for a larceny report.

A complainant reported that $200,000 worth of seafood was stolen from his business over the past few years.

Investigators found that Graver would arrive to work early on Monday mornings and steal about $800 worth of seafood.

He would place the stolen food in his vehicle, work his shift, then leave with it.

Police said Graver admitted to stealing the $800 worth of seafood once a week for four years.

A warrant for Graver was obtained.

Graver was arrested on a charge of first-degree larceny.

He was given a court date of Nov. 8 in Meriden.
