Christopher A. Tennekoon, 39, of Fairport, was charged with petit larceny, possession of burglar’s tools, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
According to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, loss prevention staff observed Tennekoon allegedly concealing and stealing $94.98 worth of merchandise from the store on May 30.
