PHILADELPHIA — A janitor at the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark has been charged with stealing a diamond-laden World Series ring left by an executive in a park restroom.

Police say 54-year-old Anthony Mobley, who works for a subcontractor that cleans Citizens Bank Park, has been charged with theft and receiving stolen property.

Authorities said the janitor led police to the keepsake given to players, coaches, managers, and other Phillies employees after last year's championship. A team marketing executive had removed it in a restroom on Monday, and it was gone when he went back a half-hour later.

Police Capt. Laurence Nodiff says surveillance tapes led them to the janitor.
