BREMERTON — A Bremerton wastewater treatment plant laborer was charged with stealing tools and jewelry from a roommate and from the City of Bremerton and then selling them at pawn shops.

Kristapher Nando Fite, 37, of Bremerton, was charged with trafficking in stolen property. Fite had been rooming with a man who worked for the City of Bremerton and with the man’s wife.

Fite allegedly stole tools and $10,000 worth of jewelry from the couple and pawned them. When the man discovered the theft, Fite was kicked out.

The homeowner began collecting Fite’s personal items to deliver them to Fite and saw that a Lawson tap and dye set worth $745 was among his items. The man suspected Fite would not be able to afford such a tool and thought it could have been stolen from the City of Bremerton.

The man contacted the manager of the Bremerton wastewater treatment plant and the manager confirmed the tool was one that had been stolen. The manager performed an audit and learned other tools were also missing.

Bremerton detectives searched for the items in a pawn shop database and came up with multiple matches including for a Stihl chain saw, a Stihl weedeater, Stihl trimmer and a Garmin GPS system. Total value of the stolen items was approximately $3,000.

Also, several items that Fite had access to are still unaccounted for.

A detective learned Fite had an extensive pawn history. Many of the items were tools, jewelry, computers and guitars.

Fite was taken into custody on May 26. Bail was set at $50,000.
