Glenn Richards, a 52-year-old man from Bloomfield Township, is facing theft charges for allegedly stealing a 14K gold chain from a home where he was working. Richards was hired to repair a bathroom floor, but after completing the work on December 21, 2024, the homeowner discovered that her father’s gold chain, which had been on a statue in the same room, was missing, according to Audacy.

The Bloomfield Township Police Department reports that Richards sold a missing item to a pawn shop on the same day it was taken, receiving $200 for it. As detailed by MacombDaily, Richards was arrested on a felony warrant last Thursday and arraigned, where Magistrate Andra Richardson granted him a $25,000 personal bond. His case is scheduled for review in a court appearance on February 18.

Richards has been charged with felony larceny after a theft was reported by a homeowner on January 18. A warrant was issued for his arrest last Wednesday, and he was arraigned last Thursday. He was released on bond. Richards has not yet commented publicly on the allegations, and the legal process will determine the outcome of the case, as reported by ClickonDetroit
