A search warrant served at the employee’s residence uncovered a small amount of cash and a “high volume” of designer merchandise, which police investigators believe was purchased with the embezzled funds.
Police said the employee admitted to taking cash from the business since last year.
The employee was booked into Marin County Jail on felony embezzlement charges. Detectives added a bail enhancement due to the amount of cash allegedly taken and concern of the suspect being a flight risk.TAGS EMBEZZLEMENT HOME DEPOT
