CLAYTON, Ga. — A former employee is facing charges after investigators say he returned to his old workplace in the middle of the night and walked away with thousands of dollars in equipment.
Deputies with the Rabun County Sheriff’s Office responded to Josh’s Auto on Old 441 South on December 12 regarding a burglary.
The business owner, Joshua Craig, told deputies that former employee Trevor Farid entered the shop just after midnight to remove personal items, but also took shop property. Craig stated that a “Snap-on work center cover valued at $5,000 and a BG Trans-Flush machine valued at $700” were missing.
According to the report, surveillance footage showed Farid entering the building and “loading his tool chest and other items” into a trailer. Craig told deputies the security cameras were unplugged during the incident, and a hard drive was taken, but some footage was recovered.
Deputies obtained warrants for Farid on December 13.
On January 29, the 41-year-old Farid, a Clayton resident, was arrested and booked in the RCSO Jail with a $5,000 bond.
