A Bed Bath & Beyond store supervisor was charged with stealing more than $12,000 from store cash registers after creating fraudulent refunds, authorities say.

Collier County sheriff’s deputies arrested Sophia Susana Ramos, 25, 8215 Ibis Club Drive, Apt. 116, East Naples, on Monday. She faces a charge of fraud-obtaining property under $20,000.

Deputy reports say store officials became suspicious when the store at 5351 Airport-Pulling Road in North Naples had a larger number of coupon adjustments than other stores in the district.

The store’s electronic journal revealed that Ramos was responsible for most of the coupon adjustments, totaling more than $12,000, reports said.

As a front-end supervisor, Ramos had access to the cash registers. She performed fraudulent refunds at three different cash registers using a coupon adjustment code to obtain cash. Each fraudulent refund was identified by her employee identification number, an override code which she utilized to approve each transaction, reports said.

Ramos created fraudulent refunds as far back as August, deputies reported.
