Police on Sunday night arrested two waiters at Roger Sherman Inn who are accused of stealing $1,500 in cash while working there in late December.
On Dec. 29, police receive a complaint about the larceny from employees, who said it had occurred four days earlier, on Christmas day.
Following an investigation, police determined that the two men, ages 45 and 50, had stolen the money and charged them with fourth-degree larceny. The 45-year-old additionally was charged with conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny, the other man with conspiracy.
They turned themselves in on Jan. 27 and 29.
The 50-year-old was released on $10,000 bond and scheduled to appear Feb. 6 in state Superior Court in Norwalk. The 45-year-old was held on $10,000 bond and scheduled to appear Jan. 30.
Originally slated to close Jan. 2, the restaurant has done a brisk business in recent weeks, its owners have said, and it remains open. The property’s contract purchaser and hopeful developer is scheduled to appear before the Planning & Zoning Commission on Tuesday.
