This was the second arrest in the investigation, Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a written release.
On Dec. 11 Michael Barton, 40, of Ansonia, was arrested for his part in the burglary.
Both Kycia and Barton were arrested after an investigation by the Patrol Division and Detective Bureau.
The burglary of Fuel First happened at about 4:50 a.m., Lynch said.
The front window to the store was broken, a gaming machine was broken into and several hundred dollars in cash was stolen.

The responding officers recognized Kycia from the video of the burglary and the person he complained about was Michael Barton. When the officers contacted Barton, they located the dark-colored Chevy seen in the video.
Kycia was charged with burglary third degree, conspiracy to commit burglary third degree, criminal mischief first degree, conspiracy to commit criminal mischief first degree, larceny sixth degree, and conspiracy to commit larceny sixth degree.
