Here in Connecticut we've had more than our fair share of embezzlement/theft/larceny by Catholic priests.

Today, NBC News is reporting that the Connecticut state police have opened up an investigation of a priest in the Diocese of Norwich.

According to NBC News:

"State police said they launched an investigation into St. Bridget Church in Moodus in December.
That's the same month in which Father Gregoire Fluet took a voluntary leave of absence, according to Michael Strammiello, the spokesman for the Diocese of Norwich.
The investigation pertains to the church's finances and was launched after a single parishioner raised questions, Strammiello said."

We'll have to see what happens here as the investigation continues.
