Over the years, Brodies, the biggest Supermarket chain in Belize – has been targeted by thieves of all kinds: armed robbers, burglars who went through the roof, and, of course, shoplifters. But this time it’s an inside job using false receipts! The Financial Controller for Brodies told police that he found records showing that bogus receipts have been used at the store. It happened between October 21st and November 11, 2013 when an estimated twenty thousand dollars was misappropriated.
Two female cashiers have been detained; we can’t release their names tonight because they haven’t been charged. But they will be charged for theft and forgery as early as tomorrow. Police have also gone to the ladies’ homes and recovered assorted sheets, curtains and other miscellaneous items all bought new, supposedly with the proceeds of the embezzlement.
