WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) - Police say a Westerly man was caught on video stealing restroom signs from the doors of the men’s and women’s bathrooms at a Rhode Island convenience store.

The Westerly Sun reports (https://bit.ly/2oy4Chq ) that 19-year-old Christopher Patrick Banks pleaded no-contest to a charge of larceny under $1,500 on Monday. He was released after agreeing to pay for damages and court costs.

Police say Banks, a regular customer at the store, entered in the early morning hours in March and was caught on video taking the signs from the restroom doors.



Police say the manager told Banks to return the signs, but he only brought back the men’s room sign. Banks was arrested.
