A Windsor man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in New Haven to six months home confinement for stealing $278,000 from Webster Bank branch on North Main Street in West Hartford, where he formerly worked as the head teller.
According to information presented in court, Daniel Caramazza, 40, of Poquonock Avenue stole the money from the bank vault over four months in 2007. When Caramazza surrendered to the FBI on October 24, 2007, he handed agents a duffel bag containing $190,150.
