A grocery store employee was arrested Monday for reportedly stealing more than $400 worth of deli items.
Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said some of the thefts had been taking place from the Food Lion at Bolling Road and West Tenth Street for nearly a year.
Deputy Andy Cash responded to the store Monday around 4:45 p.m.
Investigation by Cash led to the arrest of Antonio Mills, 31, of Roanoke Rapids. He was charged with felony larceny by employee.
He also had an outstanding order for arrest for driving while license revoked after he failed to show up for court.
He received a $5,000 bond — $2,500 of that being for the outstanding warrant. He has a March 14 court date.
