Local Worker Arrested on Felony Larceny, Unemployment Fraud Charges

New Canaan police last week assisted the government fraud unit of the chief state’s attorney’s office, division of criminal justice, in serving an arrest warrant to a 43-year-old Danbury man charged with felony offenses. Edilberto Marcos had been working at a nursery on Frogtown Road and at 6:20 a.m. on Sept. 17 was arrested and taken into custody by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, Marcos is accused of committing first-degree larceny and unemployment compensation fraud three years ago. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
