Police on Monday arrested an Akron gas station cashier who is accused of admitting to stealing $6,000 from her employer over three months.
Crystal L. Hackney, 28, is charged with felony theft. She worked at the Sunoco gas station at 2514 Mogadore Road.
According to reports, the business’ owner contacted police Monday. He said he’d suspected Hackney had been stealing for some time and dropped hints that everything she did at work was recorded on security cameras.
When confronted by her employer, Hackney allegedly admitted she would steal chips, soda and cigarettes. In addition, she said she would sell cigarettes to customers, then refund the money after they left and pocket the cash. She provided police with a signed confession, according to reports.
Hackney awaits court proceedings in the Summit County Jail. She’s scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.
