Police have arrested a Duncannon man who is accused of stealing a decorative copper frog statue from the front porch of a Wormleysburg business.

This decorative copper frog was stolen in August from the front porch of a Wormleysburg business.

Darrell Wayne Breighner, 47, of the first block of Thomas Drive, was recently arrested by West Shore Regional Police after the theft occurred in late August.

Police released a surveillance photograph of a truck that was allegedly used in the theft and that helped in their investigation of the incident. A $500 reward was also being offered for information leading to the safe return of the frog.

Police said initially the frog was stolen either on Aug. 30 or Aug. 31. It was sitting on a front porch in the 300 block of North Front Street.

Breighner was arrested earlier this month and charged with one count of theft. His unsecured bail was set at $5,000, meaning he will only have to post that amount if he fails to show up for court appearances.

Breighner has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Jan. 8 before Magisterial District Judge Elizabeth S. Beckley in Cumberland County Court.
