If you thought your work shift was stressful, spare a thought for this guy.
Police in Columbus, Ohio say a 23-year-old Target employee was arrested after allegedly sneaking out thousands of dollarsβ worth of Apple products β all while being caught on bodycam the moment he was confronted.
According to the arrest report, Evan Miles had been working in the electronics section for six months when managers noticed inventory numbers werenβt adding up.
After reviewing security footage, they realised someone had been slipping iPhones and AirPods into a backpack during closing shifts.
When police arrived to question him, Miles apparently tried to act casual β right up until they asked to see inside the bag.
βHe said it was just his lunch,β one officer said. βThere were six iPhones and an Apple Watch in there.β
The now-viral bodycam clip shows the exact moment the officer unzips the bag and says, βThatβs an expensive sandwich.β ππ
Miles was arrested on charges of grand theft and employee fraud. The total value of the stolen goods? Roughly $4,000.
Target issued a statement thanking police for the quick response and reminding customers that βemployee theft is taken very seriously.β
Social media, naturally, couldnβt resist:
βBro risked prison time for store credit.β
βHe really said: Think Different.β
Miles was later released on bond and reportedly told police he planned to βsell them to pay rent.β
The internetβs verdict? Not worth it.
