ORC ring busted at Lowe's in Florida had inside help stealing tens of thousands of dollars For months, deputies say they saw workers checking out with big money items, but paying only small ticket prices to their co-conspirator co-workers. Shopping carts full of expensive drills and saws and electrical equipment, all totaling $70,000, were all allegedly part of a carefully constructed scam that five employees had a hand in. "We had three accomplices that were cashiers, two that worked out on floor and the two that worked out on the floor would obviously fill their carts with high priced merchandise and look for their accomplices in order to go and check out through the register," said Concepcion. They then sold the items on CraigsList. Lowes itself eventually knew and helped build the case against its workers, and helped install them behind some well-constructed bars. (Source ksdk.com)
