Former Dunkin’ Donuts Manager Arrested for Grand Theft in Largo
In a shocking turn of events, Molly Cox, a 50-year-old former manager at Dunkin’ Donuts located at 600 N Missouri Avenue in Largo, has been apprehended by authorities for grand theft. The arrest follows a meticulous audit and subsequent investigation conducted by the diligent officers of the Largo Police Department.
Financial Irregularities Uncovered
The audit, covering the time frame from November 2022 to September 2023, uncovered a disturbing payroll shortage, prompting the owner of the establishment to delve deeper into the financial records. What emerged was a trail of missing cash deposits at Wells Fargo Bank, with Cox being pinpointed as the individual responsible for these discrepancies.
Surveillance Footage Leads to Arrest
Surveillance footage from the bank captured Cox absconding with the deposits, providing irrefutable evidence that led to her subsequent arrest. Shockingly, a staggering total of $153,609.98 in cash deposits was found to be unaccounted for, painting a grim picture of the extent of the theft.
Admissions and Denials
Further investigations, including a deep dive into Cox’s bank and PayPal records, revealed a series of substantial deposits into her accounts from sources other than her legitimate payroll. While Cox initially admitted to some of the thefts, she later backtracked on her confession, claiming that she did not take all the missing deposits before abruptly leaving her position at Dunkin’ Donuts.
Arrest and Charges
On Thursday, February 29, 2024, Cox was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and escorted to the Pinellas County Jail where she now faces charges related to grand theft amounting to over $100,000. The legal proceedings against her are currently underway as the investigation continues to unfold.
