A grocery store manager has been charged after allegedly stealing $750K from a Troy grocery store.
The State alleges that Trevor Beaver, 31, of Roseville, embezzled at least $750,000 from Fresh Thyme Market in Troy from July 2022 through November 2023 while he was a manager at the store.
The funds were stolen from newly installed self-checkout kiosks, which Beaver had access to. He faces 1 Count of Embezzlement over $100,000 and 1 Count of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime.
An audit system for the self-checkout machines was implemented in October of 2023. It was then that accountants supporting Fresh Thyme noticed a large amount of money missing from the Troy location. It is alleged that Beaver often scheduled himself as the only manager responsible for depositing the daily cash, including on his days off.
An investigation revealed that approximately $750,000 of the loss was due to theft by Beaver. When confronted by management, loss prevention, and the Michigan State Police, Beaver admitted to embezzling the money.
