Lower Saucon Township Police said Friday that a Giant Food Store employee has been charged with theft.
According to a post on the department’s Crimewatch site, Malik Selanne Thomas, 19, of Hellertown, was taken into custody by the store’s asset protection department Tuesday, after it was learned that he’d allegedly stolen $400 from a store cash register over a period of six days.
