Police responded to The Home Depot at 111 Universal Dr. in July on the report of a robbery.

Police said the man then left the store with the tools after staff walked away from him. Richard Moore, 56, was arrested Thursday on a warrant. He was taken into custody by North Haven detectives in New Haven. Moore was charged with first-degree robbery and sixth-degree larceny.
