Stolen box recovered

NEWTON FALLS

Joshua A. Curry, 21, of Leavittsburg was arraigned Monday in Newton Falls Municipal Court on a misdemeanor theft charge, accused of stealing a box delivered to the porch of a house on Kale Adams Road in Braceville Township on Dec. 1. Curry pleaded not guilty; bond was set at $5,000. He returns to court at 10 a.m. Jan. 6. Braceville police arrested Curry, of Briggs Road, a week ago after getting tips from viewers of a video on Braceville Police Department’s Facebook page. The surveillance video shows a man taking a box containing a $600 auto part meant as a Christmas gift from the Kale Adams residence and driving off with it. When Curry was arrested, police also recovered the stolen auto part, they said.
