A North Platte woman has been charged with a felony after she allegedly stole cash from her employer.

According to the North Platte Police Department, an officer responded to the report of a theft at the Cenex gas station, 3002 South Jeffers Street, on the afternoon of October 8.

Management at the store told the officer that their registers were short by approximately $500.00.

After reviewing surveillance footage, it was determined that an employee, Vickey McKinley, had removed the money from the deposit bag and taken it.

On October 16, McKinley met with an officer at the police station and was placed under arrest for the theft of the money.

Investigators say the charge is a Class IV felony because McKinley has multiple prior theft convictions.
