Man Allegedly Steals Silver Bit By Bit

 

Minn. Plating Company Employee Accused Of Stealing $450,000 Worth Of Silver Bit By Bit

 

ST. PAUL, Minn., May. 18, 2007

 

(AP) A plating company employee with a gambling habit stole some $450,000 worth of his employer's silver _ bit by bit over several years, police said. Jadyn Earl John Sessing, 31, of Farmington, is charged with seven counts of felony theft in Ramsey County District Court.

 

Authorities say Sessing, an assistant day manager at Cooperative Plating, took small bits of nearly pure silver starting in 2004. Cooperative Plating noticed the missing material immediately but attributed it to equipment problems and, later, a painting crew. Later, his thefts became bigger, police said.

He would have had to steal 37500 ounces of silver at an average price of $12 per ounce to come up with that amount of money. I smell a scapegoat.
