An employee embezzled about $2,000 from Kmart in Charleston, police say.
Joyce E. Cook, 66, of Charleston, and another co-worker at the store, located on Patrick Street, would pretend to refund items off customer receipts then keep the money for themselves, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Police wrote in the complaint that they watched surveillance video showing Cook stealing the money on Monday.
Cook was arrested on Monday. She is charged with embezzlement.
