FORT GREENE — A registered sex offender was caught stealing a stove from a Fort Greene home in broad daylight late last month, according to police.

The owner of the building saw Jorge Martinez, 59, wheeling a stove out of his Vanderbilt Avenue building with a hand truck around 1 p.m. on Dec. 29, police said.

The owner then called police who arrested Martinez on charges of burglary and trespassing, the NYPD said.

Martinez was also arrested last year for sexually abusing two minors under 10 years old over a period of several years.

He pleaded guilty to the sex offense on Aug. 18 and was sentenced to a year in prison. It is unclear how many months he spent in jail before he was arrested again in December.

Martinez pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal trespass charges on Jan. 6. He was fined $250 and sentenced to time served.

The Brooklyn DA did not comment on why the other charges were dropped and the building owner and Martinez's lawyer could not be reached for comment.
