The Wayne County Office of Sheriff reported the arrest on Thursday (12/6) at 10 a.m. of Kenneth W. Anson, age 59, of Forest Lawn Road in the Town of Webster following an investigation into a larceny of raw materials from Garlock’s in Palmyra.

It is alleged that Anson, who has worked at Garlock’s since 2006 in machine/maintenance was stealing brass  scrap, as much as 40-50 pounds at a time, out a back door. He was caught on surveillance cameras placing the stolen metal in his vehicle.

The Company estimated $20,000 of brass was stole over the past two years, but Wayne County Sheriff’s Investigators could only prove a loss of $17,000.

The metal was then taken to Alpco Recycling in Macedon, Metalico on Scottsville Road in Rochester and Weitsman Recycling in Rochester.

Anson was arraigned in the Town of Palmyra Court and released on his own recognizance to reappear in Palmyra Court at a later date.
