State police said Joseph Adam Lett, 39, of Holden, is in custody for a robbery at the Davis H. Elliot Company fenced storage lot last Thursday. He’s charged with breaking and entering, grand larceny, and conspiracy.

Troopers said they identified Lett on nearby video surveillance footage from a gas station. He was determined to be the robber observed on Davis H. Elliot Company footage for the copper theft.

Trooper First Class T.D. Adkins worked with Logan Detachment members in the investigation. State police said Lett may have worked with other people during other previous robberies at the Davis H. Elliot lot.
