Melody Breckenridge, ex-Target employee, admits stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise

Melody A. Breckenridge is an admitted criminal mastermind.

Breckenridge, 50, has  confessed to stealing merchandise worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Target where she worked (8509 State Line Road). How did Breckenridge get that much stuff out of the store without anyone noticing? In plain sight. 

The heists started with salvage items and moved to newer stock. It took a year and a half for anyone to notice.

Target estimated the shipping value of the salvage merchandise at $120,562.85 and valued the recovered stolen merch at $96,360.27.

Quite a haul, and she would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for a nosy Target security guard who noticed that four hair straighteners had gone missing.
