A Gwinnett County teenager was arrested after authorities said he managed to steal nearly $1 million from the grocery store where he worked.
Tre Brown, 19, was taken into custody Jan. 14 after scamming the Kroger on Steve Reynolds Boulevard out of more than $980,000 over a two-week period, Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Collin Flynn said.
According to police, Brown created more than 40 returns for non-existent items in December and January. Those returns, which ranged in price from $75 to more than $87,000, were then placed on several credit cards, investigators said.
Police said Brown used the stolen money to buy two cars, clothes, guns and new shoes. Prior to his arrest, the teen reportedly totaled a Chevrolet Camaro that he bought, Flynn said.

Krogor gotz insurance.
guess he thought no one would ever notice.
Yeah, my local Safeway has tons of things priced at $87,000. Huh?
If he’d been smart enought t only steal $1000, he might have gotten away with it.
For his college fund?
Ah, another Biden/Harris voter.
I knew ghetto sneakers were expensive, but hundreds of thousands of dollars?
an $87,000 return sounds like a major red flag that was missed, whether someone was on vacation, or not.
This skill is taught by the democrat party.
They need better internal controls. Someone else got fired or reprimanded.
“smart enough to only steal $1000”
Yup. I was shocked that the system at Kroger allowed him to do that for 2 weeks.
Qualified to run for office in the democratic party.
Really what could you steal and return to Kroger that had a $87,000 price tag? No receipt, no problem, here you go.
“Teen.” I guess I really didn’t need the picture.
Another sullen, surly jogger.
A million stolen at age 19?
That kids going places.
He will be a Dem in Congress in the next ten years with that skill set!
Would that be the same Kroger that pulled My Pillow products from their shelves?
Sorry, but I have no sympathy for them
Bad book keepers! I used to have to count the safe twice a day at a Wisconsin Cub Foods. We had one cheat, Got busted in 3 days. You have to be on it, a lot of cash on hand.
