Store Manager Arrested for Thefts

The former manager of a Tire Kingdom store in the Tampa Bay area was arrested Dec. 11, accused of stealing some $5,000 from the company and transferring a customer’s vehicle into his name.

According to the Pasco Sheriff, the former manager began stealing cash from the store last March. At one point, when a customer could not pay for an estimated $2,000 in repairs, which the customer claims were unauthorized, the manager told the customer that he could pay by transferring the vehicle to the company. Tire Kingdom officials said that is contrary to company policy.

Regardless, the manager allegedly forged the title and transferred the title of the 1995 Nissan Sentra into his name. (Tire Review/Akron)
