Police last week arrested a 41-year-old Walker, La.-man by warrant in connection with the theft nearly three years ago of more than $40,000 from a New Canaan resident’s checking account. Authorities in New Canaan learned of the possible larceny in May 2023 from a sergeant in the Walker Police Department in Louisiana, according to an arrest warrant application obtained by NewCanaanite.com through a public records request.
