According to the report, the district manager for Cinnabon called police about his store manager at Northgate Mall. He told officers the suspected manager is in charge of making daily bank deposits for the store.
In December, those deposits started coming up short. By January, the district manager says six deposits were not made at all. It all added up to nearly $5,000 in dough that disappeared.
When confronted, the accused manager denied responsibility for the theft but he was nevertheless let go.
This type of theft is by no means rare. I often read police reports documenting local employees stealing from their employer. Just last week, Sound Chiropractic Center in downtown Seattle reported a now former employee who took seven company checks. The accused worker then forged a company signature and cashed in more than $1100 down in California.
