GUILDERLAND — A night clerk at the Mobil station on Western Avenue recognized a man who was filmed stealing from another convenience store, Guilderland Police say.

They arrested John M. Martin Jr., 48, of Esperance, for burglary, grand larceny, and criminal mischief.

Martin had been filmed at 12:45 a.m. Friday by a surveillance camera at the Getty station on Route 146, stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets, according to a release from the Guilderland Police. Police circulated the tape to nearby stores, figuring Martin might try to cash in on his lottery tickets, the release said.

The night clerk at the Mobile store thought Martin looked like the man on the video and notified police.
