A Michigan grocery store manager was charged with embezzling at least $750,000 from the store’s newly installed self-checkout terminals over 16 months.
Trevor Beaver, 31, is accused of taking the money from the Fresh Thyme Market in Troy, where he worked from July 2022 to Nov. 2023, according to a statement from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
“The funds were stolen from newly installed self-checkout kiosks, which Beaver had access to,” the statement read.
Beaver allegedly scheduled himself as the only manager in charge of depositing the daily cash, even on his days off, allowing him to take the money.
“Retail theft doesn’t just impact Michigan businesses, but it hurts consumers when the retailer must raise prices to compensate for lost revenue,” Nessel said.
