LYNNWOOD, Wash. (AP) - A Coinstar Inc. employee has been arrested for investigation of thefts totaling as much as $450,000.
According to documents filed in court, 39-year-old Michael Robert Burns of Maple Valley worked on Coinstar kiosks at a warehouse. He's accused of using his knowledge to get money from the coin-counting and dispensing machines at grocery stores in Washington, Oregon and California. Burns was arrested Friday and remains in the Snohomish County jail for investigation of first-degree theft. Bail is set at $250,000. The probe began after Coinstar officials reported thefts in several locations. Lynnwood police reported finding about $125,000 cash in Burns' home, $4,000 in his truck and $350 in his pockets, plus some expensive electronics and vehicles. |
