    UPDATE (9:23 p.m.): Two additional people have warrants out for their
    arrest in connection with a theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars
    worth of inventory at a Mobile County Dollar General.

    They are Jennifer Graham and Marilyn Graham.

    Investigators said the subjects would fill shopping carts full of items
    and walk up to the checkout counter.

    According to investigators, that�s when Assistant Manager Brittany Forrest
    and Associate Calie Kent would scan one or two items and then close out
    the purchase. However, they would continue scanning the items to trick the cameras into thinking that the alleged customer was buying all of the
    items.

    The subject would then pay for the items that were officially scanned by
    the register.

    �To management, it appeared that everything was above water but in
    reality, it was not,� MCSO Sgt. Lonnie Parsons said.

    Investigators said that after they took the items from the store, they
    would sell them to make a larger profit.

    �If people would put that much thought into a normal job, they would be
    very productive citizens,� Parsons said.

    News 5 reached out to Dollar General Corporate; they said they would not comment on this case.
