a man after he stole $200,000 from a local restaurant chain in an elaborate gift card scheme.
Calvin Ortique, 34, was arrested on Wednesday on charges related to gift and loyalty card larceny from the Hartford Restaurant Group’s Wood-n-Tap restaurants. Ortique, who worked for the Connecticut Department of Transpiration , began his elaborate scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Hartford Restaurant Group, which owns and operates 10 Wood-n-Tap restaurants, said the amount Ortique is suspected of stealing is around $200,000 worth of gift card balances and loyalty rewards and around $20,000 was redeemed at up to seven Connecticut locations from May 2020 until January 2023.
It was not until 2021 that the restaurant employees began connecting the dots that eventually led to the arrest of Ortique.
