LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say an employee of the Best Buy distribution center in Shepherdsville has been arrested after he stole roughly $14,000 worth of electronics.
Shepherdsville Police say that during the month of January, 20-year-old Perry Vincent stole approximately 12 cell phones, five pairs of earphones and four video games. Investigators said the way he did it was nothing short of interesting.
"He used totes that they use to move merchandise around the warehouse," Maj. Mike O'Donnell said. "He stacked those at his work station to block the view of the cameras."
During breaks, police said he would wrap up the the stolen stuff, take it outside and drop it on the other side of a fence.
"And then walk through security on his way out, go to the back of the warehouse and recover them, before he went home for the night," O'Donnell said.
He allegedly admitted to selling the items to people "on the street."
Vincent has been charged with theft by unlawful taking of an amount of $10,000 or more. He is currently being held in the Bullitt County Detention Center.
