WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut police say a man posing as a good Samaritan took advantage of another man who had locked his keys in his car and stole his vehicle.

The Republican-American reports that 28-year-old Musa Redzepi was charged Wednesday with third-degree larceny.

Police say Redzepi offered to help the victim who had locked his keys in his car at a Waterbury gas station. Investigators say Redzepi told the victim he’d watch the car while the other man went to an ATM to get cash for a tow truck.
