Cleaning service employee suspected of theft

A 25-year-old employee of a cleaning service is being investigated by Birmingham police for allegedly stealing over $900, a lost-and-found bracelet and a credit card from a business she was cleaning overnight at the 2000 block of Cole. 

Birmingham police report that the manager called around 8 a.m. the morning of Thursday, February 5, after finding the items were missing. All three of the items reported stolen were kept in a locked safe, which police say witnesses confirmed the woman was seen opening. 

Birmingham police reported that a similar theft took place in December, but there were no suspects at that time. They say an investigation is ongoing.

The name of local businesses are seldom provided by Birmingham police.
