A section manager of a Leclerc store in Chambéry (Savoie) was arrested this Saturday.

A relative of this 36-year-old man was arrested at the same time as him.

The 30-year-old is suspected of having stolen computer equipment from the supermarket for several months.

The amount of the stolen goods was estimated at almost 30,000 euros.

Partial confessions

The search of the suspect's home uncovered several devices that the management of the retail chain had reported to the police as missing.

The store employee partially acknowledged the thefts while in custody.

The two accomplices would have used a well-rehearsed scheme targeting products before they were put on the shelves.

The supermarket employee would have taken to placing the merchandise in boxes of other types of items.

Her friend took these packages and paid for them at the checkout.

She thus paid much less than the value of the concealed devices.
