Witness Testimony Reveals Alleged Theft Scheme
During a recent interview, Mr. Rose recounted statements made by Mr. Joseph, who allegedly admitted to removing merchandise from a local store without paying. He explained that Mr. Joseph described how he would lower the price of the items before purchasing them at the reduced amount, effectively stealing the difference. The testimony indicated that these actions were carried out both for personal use and for distribution to others.
Start and Frequency of the Alleged Theft
According to Mr. Rose, Mr. Joseph said the illicit activity began around November 2024. He claimed the theft averaged about one hundred dollars worth of meat each week. This regular pattern suggested a sustained operation rather than isolated incidents.
Estimated Duration and Financial Loss
Based on the weekly loss figure, Mr. Rose calculated that the scheme persisted for roughly twenty‑seven weeks. Multiplying the weekly loss by the number of weeks, he concluded that the Dominion Store in Corner Brook suffered an approximate loss of twenty‑seven hundred dollars.
