MOULTRIE, Ga. — A thief took advantage of a new convenience store employee on Wednesday to walk out with $19 worth of beer and gasoline valued at $20.

Raceway, 1301 Veterans Parkway, reported that at 3:42 a.m. a man came in while a new employee was working. He told the employee that another clerk allows him to charge gas and other merchandise on a charge account.

The man asked for a 12-pack of Bud Light beer and a 6-pack of Mike’s Hard Lemonade after he had pumped $20 in gas.

Store video shows the suspect and female employee talking and him handing her a piece of paper after she rings up the merchandise.

The paper had a woman’s name on it and the phone number given was for a car dealership. The suspect left in a dark blue Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, police said.

The store manager gave police the name of the suspect, who was identified by another employee.

The store does not allow customers to charge merchandise, the manager told police.
