 Suspect
in Alleged Home Depot Return Scheme Arrested in Brown County, WI - Part of a
Larger Ring Targeting Big Box Retailers Officials say surveillance
video shows a couple taking high priced item from the shelves of Home Depot and
returning them for a refund. The couple never purchased the merchandise, but
they would receive an in-store credit card for a refund. They would in turn sell
it for cash at a payday lending store. Officials say it happened three times in
one week. The sheriff's office says the woman seen in the video, Amber Teller of
Green Bay, has been charged with three misdemeanors. Deputies say they
identified the man in the video, but they have not located him. Investigators
believe it is part of a much larger ring suddenly targeting big box stores in
the last few months. Green Bay Police detectives tell Action Two news they've
sent 10 cases to the district attorney since the end of April and have at least
six more ready to go where people have stolen thousands of dollars from Home
Depot. (Source
