$10,000 Missing From Subway — Then the Owner Opens the Safe and Finds Nothing

For months a Subway employee was quietly voiding customer transactions and pocketing the cash. By the time the owner noticed the safe was empty, the total had reached ten thousand dollars. When detectives showed up at the store that morning, they caught him mid-shift — and the cameras had already caught him doing it eighty-six times. • Grand Theft — Florida Statutes Section 812.014: theft of property valued at one thousand dollars or more is a felony of the third degree; over twenty thousand dollars is a second-degree felony • Scheme to Defraud — Florida Statutes Section 817.034: engaging in a systematic scheme of false pretenses to obtain property from another person; each transaction may constitute a separate count • Employee Theft Context — the void-and-pocket method: voiding a completed transaction in the POS system after collecting cash from the customer, so no record of payment appears while the cash is pocketed • Miranda waiver — subject waived rights and made voluntary statements including a near-admission ("I'm not saying I didn't do it / I'm not saying I did do it") and eventual acknowledgment ("I take full responsibility") #bodycam #employeetheft #grandtheft #legalanalysis #subwaytheft
