Foreman charged, stole $385K during Wilton project

WILTON, Conn. (WTNH) — A foreman, working for Mars Electric out of Bethel, was contracted for a large electrical project at ASML in Wilton that began in July 2022.

Ryan Jensen, 34, of South Salem, NY, has been arrested for stealing custom electrical components and tools valued at approximately $385,000. He stole the items over several months and sold them to pawn shops in Danbury.

Many of the items had subsequently left the shops, but around $128K worth of items
were recovered by the police.

When confronted with the evidence, Jensen admitted his involvement with the thefts from the Mars Electric contractor yard in ASML and had acted alone in doing so.

Jensen turned himself in to police on May 3 and was charged with first-degree larceny and two-counts of false statement.

He is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on May 17.
