Man arrested for theft  

An 18-year-old Marathon man was arrested Sunday for stealing $1,300 from a Big Pine Key grocery store.

Leandro Valverdo was charged with grand theft.

A supervisor at Winn-Dixie noticed discrepancies with the cashier drawer counts and notified the Sheriff’s Office on Sunday. Further investigation revealed Valverdo was skimming cash from the drawer whenever large purchases were made. This was confirmed by video evidence.

Valverdo confessed when questioned by the Sheriff’s Office.

He was taken to jail.
