A Niagara Falls Police officer was working secondary employment at Walmart on Military Road around 6pm on January 16th when asset protection advised her that an employee was shoplifting.
Specifically, the employee was putting several items in a backpack and attempting to pass all points of sale without purchasing any of it. Upon viewing surveillance footage, the officer observed the female employee in the children’s section of the store stuffing numerous items into the bag.
The officer and asset protection worker approached the female employee to ask for her receipt which she was unable to produce. The backpack was valued at $36.96. There was no estimate provided in the incident report for the numerous items she shoved inside of the backpack.
The female employee was brought back to asset protection where it was confirmed the bag was not paid for. She was then fired from Walmart effective immediately and escorted out of the store. All merchandise was recovered.
She was released with an appearance ticket. No further information is available at this time.
