DENVER, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Police said they have arrested a Denver man suspected of stealing more than $20,000 worth of wine and selling the pilfered beverages on the Internet.
Investigators said the suspect stole bottles of wine from at least three Denver-area wine stores, including one store, Tipsy's, that recorded the man on security cameras taking three $200 bottles from the fine wines room, KCNC-TV, Denver, reported Monday.
The Denver sheriff's department said the man used Velcro to wedge the stolen wine bottles into a back brace he was wearing before exiting the store.
"I've seen a lot of creative ways for people to steal, but this one really was interesting with the type of apparatus that he had to be able to put the product in," Tipsy's store manager Reegan Moen said.
Police said the suspect was arrested Wednesday after an undercover officer purchased some of the stolen wine during an operation. The suspect is believed to have made more than $21,000 from selling bottles of stolen wine over the Internet.
