Loss prevention agent, two others arrested at Milton Walmart www.privateofficer.com

 

Milton GA July 20 2012 A Walmart store manager looking for evidence of time card fraud by an employee found the problem was much worse than expected. The employee, who was supposed to prevent shoplifting, instead allegedly was seen shoplifting from the store, and two other employees were spotted in the same security video also taking items without paying for them.

Milton police responded to the store manager’s call on July 9 about the three employees being detained for shoplifting.

The loss prevention officer was allegedly spotted shoplifting a laptop, an iPad, two cellphones, video games and other products worth approximately $3,500.

Another employee was spotted on video taking a laptop and two webcams worth just under $1,000. A third employee took in an even bigger haul, allegedly shoplifting items that included an iPad, a laptop, a flat panel TV, two cellphones, a PlayStation Portable game, all worth more than $5,300.

Milton police reported that two of the suspects provided signed, written statements about their involvement in shoplifting. The loss prevention officer allegedly was paid off by the other suspect to avoid getting in trouble. He would give the second suspect stolen items to be sold for cash.

All three suspects were charged with felony shoplifting on July 10, and were released from Fulton County Jail on July 11 on $5,000 bond:

•Derrick L. Gibson, 39, of Alpharetta

•Neil Chopra, 31, of Roswell

•Randell Eugene Manns, 48, of Johns Creek
