A Man Posed as a Tool Rep to Shoplift from Home Depot
Some people think they can get away with shoplifting just by loading a bunch of stuff into a cart . . . and pushing it through the front door. But this guy put a little more creativity into it.
A 37-year-old man in Ohio named Joshua Huey went to a Home Depot . . . pretended to be a sales rep from DeWalt tools . . . and started cutting open sealed boxes, including lawnmowers.
He used bolt cutters from a neighboring aisle to break a lock on a metal gate containing power tools . . . damaging the gate in the process.
Then, he attempted to walk out of the store with a flatbed cart loaded with 23 items, including DeWalt batteries, saws, blowers, and grinders. The merchandise was worth more than $4,200.
He was arrested and charged with felony theft . . . possessing criminal tools . . . and vandalism. The store says there's video footage of the scheme, and they're handing that over to the police.
