Sometimes, police said, they would, "give customers the cigarettes and keep the money."

Other times, according to the criminal complaint, they would, "scan the cigarettes, void the transaction and keep the money."

Roedler told police she was taught how to do these things by her coworker.

Police told Channel 11 they have all the evidence they need, including inventory sheets, video and even a cheat sheet that was hanging up in the store.
