Another Danbury man has been arrested for allegedly stealing items from a grocery store and starting a fire.  46-year old Julio Perez-Flores was charged with reckless burning, criminal mischief and criminal attempt larceny on Friday.  The Newstimes reports that Perez-Flores and another Danbury man are accused of stealing from Stew Leonard's two days before Christmas. 

Police say Perez-Flores attempted to fix their SUV, which was damaged in a hit-and-run accident before they arrived, while 39-year old George Kourpouanidis filled a shopping cart of nearly $3,400 of seafood and other items.  According to the warrant, store security stopped Kourpouanidis and he took off his hat and jacket before heading into the men's room and lighting several rolls of toilet paper on fire. 

Perez-Flores was also charged with breach of peace, larceny and two counts of conspiracy to commit larceny.

The store was evacuated and the pair met up outside before Kourpouanidis allegedly walked into Walgreens next door and shoplifted an unknown item.  The publication reports that Detectives recognized Kourpouanidis because of his criminal history.  Kourpouanidis was charged with attempted larceny, reckless burning, criminal mischief, breach of peace, larceny, and two counts of conspiracy to commit larceny. 

Police traced the car to Perez-Flores by reviewing evading accident reports. 

Both are due in court on the 26th.
