Man Walks Out of Supermarket With Steak in Pants: Cops

Police have arrested a man accused of stuffing a rib-eye steak into his pants at a West Hartford grocery store, then walking out without paying.

According to police, loss prevention officers watched while George Krawshuk, 56, of Burlington, hid a steak in his pants Tuesday at the ShopRite store on Kane Street.

When they followed Krawsuk out of the store and confronted him, Krawsuk refused to stop, according to police.

Loss prevention followed Krawsuk to a Burger King restaurant down the road, where police took him into custody.

He was charged with sixth-degree larceny and released on a summons, according to police.

It's not clear if Krawshuk has an attorney.
