Kroger has around 184 stores in the Atlanta area.
Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia, say they have arrested a 19-year-old man who is accused of stealing more than $980,000 from a Kroger store in Duluth, a northeastern suburb of Atlanta.
Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Collin Flynn said Tre Brown, 19, was arrested after corporate employees from Kroger noticed fraudulent transactions and contacted police, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported. Brown is accused of stealing more than $980,000 over a two-week period from the Kroger store on Steve Reynolds Boulevard in Duluth.
According to police, Brown created more than 40 returns for non-existent items in December and January. Those returns, which ranged in price from $75 to more than $87,000, were then placed on several credit cards, investigators said.
