Suspect accused of stealing $6,200 worth of ice cream in northwest Indiana

A suspect was arrested on theft charges after allegedly stealing $6,200 worth of ice cream from delivery trucks in northwest Indiana, police said.

Christopher Stewart, who was taken into custody on Friday, was charged with theft greater than $750, theft with prior conviction and failure of duty, Griffith police said on social media.

Police said surveillance video and vehicle records linked Stewart to the repeated theft of ice cream from delivery trucks over several weeks. He admitted to taking the ice cream and selling it, authorities said.

Griffith police announced Stewart’s arrest in a cheeky Facebook post.

“Who steals 258 cases of ice cream valued at $6,200 in December? Apparently, Christopher Stewart does,” the department stated. “Through the hard work of our Patrol Division, this bold (and chilly) decision earned him a spot on the Naughty List, along with felony theft charges.”
