A retired Sailor and an accomplice pleaded guilty to stealing over $60,000 from August 10, 2018, to November 1, 2108. The Navy Times<\/a> identified Gregory Custer, the retired Sailor, as a retired CPO. This wasn’t the first time he didn’t obey the law. As of the time that he was doing this, he was on probation for misusing funds. He had a history of theft and fraud.<\/p>\n

They may have been selling these items. The accomplice, Donna Sieglein, invited another with the claim that they could make $1,000.00 or more.<\/p>\n

The Capital Gazette goes into detail:<\/span><\/p>\n

Authorities reviewed months of surveillance footage, which captured on Sieglein in the electronics department on numerous occasions shoveling merchandise into a bag she was carrying, the agreement details.<\/p>\n

“During these instances,” federal prosecutors wrote, “(Custer) stood by looking out for (Naval Exchange) personnel or engaged in conversation with (Naval Exchange) personnel to distract them from Sieglein’s thefts.”<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the plea explained, Custer picked out items, handed them to Sieglein for her to stow away in her bag. The pair made low-value purchases each time they visited the store to avoid suspicion of theft, the plea details.<\/p>\n

Custer made the purchases by showing his military identification card at checkout, the plea details.<\/p>\n

Investigators seized a cell phone from Sieglein and retrieved text messages as well as pictures of pristinely packaged electronics, the price tags still attached, according to the plea.<\/p>\n

In one message Sieglein invited another person to join her at the store, saying they’d “make at least $1,000. We would also be able to get any (Michael Kors) purse you want. It’s super easy and safe,” she wrote the person, according to the plea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
