A Robbins woman is facing multiple charges after police say she stole more than $10,000 from a local retail store where she was employed.
Amonie Owens, 31, was arrested June 19 following an investigation by the Aberdeen Police Department into a reported internal theft at the Burlington store in Aberdeen.
According to a press release issued by the Aberdeen Police Department, officers were called to the store after management reported a suspected larceny by an employee. During the investigation, officers reviewed surveillance footage and identified Owens as the suspect. Police say the video confirmed Owens accessed the store’s safe and removed more than $10,000 in cash.
Owens is facing charges of safecracking, larceny by employee, felony possession of stolen goods, obtaining property by false pretenses, possession of burglary tools, misdemeanor possession of stolen property, and injury to personal property.
She was located and taken into custody by Aberdeen investigators later the same day.
Owens appeared before a Moore County magistrate and was issued a $50,000 secured bond. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
