Man accused of stealing $600K from Walmart in Carolinas and
Georgia.
A South Carolina man faces federal fraud and
conspiracy charges after authorities say he masterminded a
three-year scheme that faked store refund transactions
totaling more than $600,000 from Walmart stores in the
Carolinas and Georgia. A Department of Homeland Security
investigator in Charlotte says Milton's operation included
$115,000 in fraudulently returned computer software, $95,000
in DVDs, and $46,000 in cheap fishing rods that were
exchanged for costly ones. The break in the case came when
Milton's storage unit in the Cleveland County was left open
and a worker looked inside. (Source
