Jefferson PD
Gas station employee steals $3,300 worth of lottery tickets
The Jefferson Police Department responded to
a report of a theft at a Dry Pond Rd. gas station on
March 18.
A gas station employee reportedly stole lottery
tickets.
A day manager had come in to restock the lottery
and found there were several books missing. She and
the store manager counted the books and found there
were 11 books of $20 lottery tickets missing, valued
at $300 a book, for a total value of $3,300.
When they reviewed the store’s video footage, it
showed a kitchen employee who was off work com
ing into the office.
She is seen exiting the office with her hoodie ap
pearing to be weighted down in the front. As she exits
the store, she is seen looking back to see if anyone is
following her.
The manager called the employee to give her a
chance to give them back, but the employee said she
already scratched the tickets.
The manager also contacted the lottery commis
sion and gas station corporate office.
