Andy Mitchell, a nine-year veteran of the NYPD, was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property after a security guard stopped him as he left a Home Depot at East New York’s Gateway Center about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
The security guard accused him of not paying for the lock he was leaving with, cops said.
Mitchell was given a desk appearance ticket and is expected to answer the charges in May, officials said.
