Man Arrested In Stereo Thefts From Madison Car Lot

Posted

A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing half a dozen stereos from a used car lot in Madison.

Officers said Nicholaus Stewart was caught on camera stealing stereo consoles from six cars at Discount Motors back in January.

Surveillance videos showed a suspect entering the property even while the lights were shining on him.  

Weldon Steiner with the company told NewsChannel 5 back in January that the man ripped apart the consoles of six vehicles to obtain the stereos. 

"I'm ticked off about it. The cost affects us, and it causes us to have to raise the prices on things," Steiner said. 

Detectives tracked him down after he allegedly tried to sell the stolen equipment at a pawn shop. Stewart has been charged with theft.
