At 4:04 p.m. police responded to GNC in the Woburn Mall on a report of a past theft. Loss prevention employees stated that they were called to look into missing money. As they were investigating they noticed the May 7 deposit was $145.90 short and the May 9 deposit was $57.13 short. The same manager was in charge of the deposit on both days. Loss prevention said they believed the manager was skimming either the register or the deposit itself.

Police spoke to the manager in question who denied any responsibility at first but changed his story after confronted with the paperwork. He claimed he was not trained properly. The manger was subsequently let go and a copy of the report was given to the store for possible follow-up action.
