A Niagara Falls Police officer was working security for Walmart around 4:30pm on November 7th when he was alerted by asset protection of an internal investigation into an employee.
Asset protection stated that over a one-month period a male employee was observed on nine separate occasions selecting items from store shelving and consuming the items, which included both beverages and food. He failed to pay for any of the consumed items and was captured on security cameras each time.
Today, the male employee was brought into the main office for an interview. He admitted to the thefts - totaling $26.30 - and was given an appearance ticket for petit larceny.
It was not mentioned whether the employee was fired, but it is likely he was. No further information is available at this time.
