Niara Williams, a Delray Beach, Florida retail clerk, was arrested Monday after she allegedly stole over $1,000 from the Abercrombie & Fitch store where she worked, news sources report. Williams, 19, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of grand theft. She was later released after posting $3,000 bail bond. Reports did not specify whether Williams has hired an attorney.
According to reports, the theft occurred at Abercrombie & Fitch in the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton. Sources say Williams began working for Abercrombie & Fitch in January 2013. After she was hired, a manager at the store noticed that money was going missing from the store's cash register, sources say.
An investigator with the store's loss prevention office began looking into the missing money. They reportedly learned that the shortages occurred on days Williams had been working. The investigators then looked over the store's surveillance footage and reportedly saw Williams stealing money from the store's register. In all, Jones allegedly stole $1,100 over a period of several months.
Detectives interviewed Williams later, and she admitted to taking money from the register, reports say. Williams told detectives that she had been going through a financially tough period and needed money to pay her bills. No one else appears to have been involved in the theft.
