A 19-year-old has been arrested after he allegedly took $1 million from a grocery store he worked at in Atlanta. According to reports Tre Brown made over 40 fake returns to the store for items that did not exist last year. Cops say Brown made around $980,000 and put it on multiple credit cards. He then used these to buy shoes, guns, clothes and even two cars. The vehicles he purchased were not able to be returned because he totaled them. Brown totaled one of the vehicles, however, prior to getting arrested, according to the police.
