Three men and a female security guard at Menard’s combined to steal thousands of dollars worth of construction materials in what appears to be a robbery with inside help.
According to North Platte Police Lt. Rick Ryan, police officers responded to Menard’s Tuesday at approximately 2:45 p.m. after a store employee contacted police about a possible theft in progress.
Ryan said that store employees were provided with an anonymous tip that the robberies had been going on for some time.
“They had a description of who was doing it and they basically waited for them to show back up and when they did, they called us,” said Ryan.
Todd Warren, 41 of North Platte, Michael Leon (Sellers), 24, of Maxwell and Michael Castor, 40, of North Platte were all arrested for theft by deception, a Class 3 felony.
Lucille Johnston, 32, of North Platte was working at the store as a security guard and was also arrested for theft by deception for allegedly helping the men steal the materials by looking the other way.
Lucille Johnston, 32, of North Platte was working at the store as a security guard and was also arrested for theft by deception for allegedly helping the men steal the materials by looking the other way.
Ryan said that Johnston was a security guard employed by a subcontractor and not technically a store employee and personally knew the men who are accused of stealing the materials.
She is alleged to have allowed the three men to load up a trailer full of construction materials valued at over $2,000 and allowing them to drive off the lot without paying.Police investigators believe that this activity had been going for some time and this foursome is responsible for several more thousands of dollars in lost materials.
It wasn’t until store employees received the tip before they realized that their security guard was allegedly one of the thieves.
All four were arraigned in Lincoln County Court Wednesday morning on the charges. Johnston is due back in court for a preliminary hearing Nov. 20 at 10:45 p.m.
Warren is due back in court Nov. 21 at 10:45 a.m. Leon is due back in court Nov. 20 at 11:15 a.m. and Castor will appear Nov. 20 at 10:45 a.m.
All four people face a Class 3 felony charge, which carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine.
