The US police arrested a man who stole $ 300 from a store, but the surprise was that he had bought a private island a week ago for about $ 8 million.

The newspaper "Miami Herald" America, said police arrested the millionaire Andrew Francis Lippi, 59, on suspicion of stealing goods worth more than 300 dollars.

Libby was accused of stealing two coffee machines, eight lamps and a bed sheet from the Kmart store, the newspaper said. He bought these things and took them out of their boxes and replaced them with other goods and then returned them and replaced the money, in a fraudulent manner.

A week ago, a wealthy businessman bought Thomson Island off the Key West coast, with a luxurious palace in between. Libby strongly denied the charges against him, saying it was complicated and preferred not to go into it.
