Deputies arrested a 37-year-old Albertsons employee Wednesday on charges she made fake transactions and stole lottery tickets.
Julie Reneus, 3625 Poplar Way, East Naples, was charged with grand theft.The thefts were reported over several days in March at the Albertsons at 3350 U.S. 41 E. East Naples.
Reports say Reneus, who works in the Albertsons liquor department, would run off lottery tickets, charged for them without putting money into the cash register and then would conduct a fake beer keg or tap deposit return for customers, which would balance out the money she was removing from the register or charging the lottery tickets to.
Store surveillance video showed Reneus, who works alone in the liquor department, working on the days when the discrepancies were reported.
There were no customers in the store at the time Reneus made transactions for keg returns, reports said.
A search of Reneus by deputies turned up several lottery tickets in her pants pockets. A subsequent search of her purse turned up more lottery tickets.
Many of the tickets corresponded to specific dates in which keg deposit returns were conducted, reports said.
