CLARENCE — A 20-year-old Clarence man was charged Monday with third-degree grand larceny, accused of stealing over $3,000 from a family member.

According to New York State Police, the complainant became suspicious when he observed a family member, Jason Alberti, make several purchases that were beyond his means. The complainant attempted to account for cash he temporarily stored at his residence and realized small amounts had gone missing over the past 3 months with the total amount missing being well over $3,000. 

Alberti was arrested and made statements admitting to the theft, according to NYSP. He was charged and arraigned in the town of Alden Court and released with a return court date.
