A 51-year-old Village of Silver Lake woman is facing a charge of grand theft after the alleged theft of two employee iPhones from Applebee’s restaurant.
Two employees of the restaurant on Bichara Boulevard contacted Lady Lake police on June 4 after they discovered their iPhones were missing from a server station.
Video surveillance showed a woman with a long ponytail and in a uniform enter the restaurant and leave with the iPhones, according to a booking sheet from the Lady Lake Police Department. A police officer checked around and discovered the uniform worn by the woman in the video was a Winn-Dixie uniform.
Meanwhile, another person returned the iPhones to the restaurant, but the employees indicated they wanted to pursue charges.
Melissa Mae Mullins of 1010 Parker Place, an employee of the nearby Winn-Dixie, surrendered to police on June 8. She was booked at the Lake County Jail and released after posting $2,000 bond.
