COLONIE - A man brings in his phone to have it repaired only to find out an intimate picture on that phone has been stolen.

Dominic Pirozzi, 33, is the man accused of stealing it.

Police say Pirozzi worked at the Verizon store on Route 7 in Colonie. They say he was repairing the victim's phone, saw the topless picture and texted it to himself.

Police were alerted and contacted Pirozzi, who turned himself in.
