Off with her head
3:06 p.m. — 2700 block of Mall Drive. Grand Theft. An employee of an adult-video and lingerie shop is accused of allowing a friend to take $504 worth of merchandise and pocketing $92 the friend gave her in return. The store’s manager discovered the theft when the previous night’s receipts only showed one sale for $7.48. After reviewing the video, she saw the employee’s friend come into the store and choose several items, including a Marie Antoinette costume and wig, bra, panties, five adult DVDs and two adult toys. The friend handed the employee the $92 cash, which was not in the cash drawer the next day.
