ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police put out a request for information this weekend as they looked into a theft at a local farmstand and the public responded with the necessary suspect identification.

On Saturday, Nov. 26, at a little after 10 a.m., troopers were called Old Jerusalem Road in Leicester to look into a theft at the farmstand there. The farmstand owner showed police a photo, apparently taken with a surveillance camera, of a man who had entered the stand at approximately 1:26 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25, and stole money from the cash drawer.

Later that morning, state police issued a post asking anyone who recognizes the man in the photo to contact Trooper Anthony at the New Haven barracks or submit information through an online tip submission site.

Based on numerous tips, police said on Monday morning that they had identified a person of interest in this incident. The Vermont State Police would like to thank the public for their assistance in this investigation.

In the only other case that state police at the New Haven barracks reported this week, troopers conducting speed enforcement near the intersection of Route 7 and Maple Run Road in Leicester on Nov. 22, saw a gray sedan speeding southbound on Route 7 at around 9:17 a.m. Police said a radar clocked the car at 84 mph in a 50 mph zone. The trooper stopped the sedan without incident and cited driver Brenda Bergman, 46, of Essex Junction for negligent driving and issued her a speeding ticket that carries a penalty of two points on insurance and a fee of $517.
