A Sodus man was arrested Tuesday after an investigation into a burglary at a Clifton Springs home, where police said a safe containing about $1,800 and personal documents was stolen.
Alvin Benjamin, 60, was charged with second-degree burglary, a Class C felony, and fourth-degree grand larceny, a Class E felony, according to a state police news release.
Troopers responded Oct. 10 to the reported burglary at a residence on King Road in the town of Manchester, Ontario County.
Investigators obtained surveillance footage showing a vehicle in the area around the time of the burglary, which helped them identify a suspect, police said.
Benjamin contacted state police Tuesday and voluntarily went to the Canandaigua barracks, returning the safe and about $1,200 in cash, according to the release.
He was taken to the Ontario County Jail for centralized arraignment.
