Man Charged with Save-a-Lot Burglary

A Bradford man is in jail after being arrested for breaking into Save-a-Lot on Forman Street Friday morning.

Police say they received a call at 7:37 a.m. reporting a broken window at the store. Upon arrival, Officer Todd Erickson saw a large hole in a front window and a small black stereo speaker on the floor. He then learned that the perpetrator entered through the window, broke into the office and removed several items, including groceries, personal care items, beverages, money and, possibly, gift cards.

Michael Kelly of 75 Amm Street was questioned about the burglary and police learned he broke the plate glass window with a brick at around 1 a.m., then left the scene. He returned to the scene and threw the stereo speaker at the window, attempting to make the hole bigger. He left the scene again, but returned at about 2 a.m., when he broke into the office area. Most of the stolen items were found in Kelly’s home.

Kelly was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief. He was arraigned by District Judge Dominic Cercone and sent to jail on $5,000 cash bail.
