Two Arrested After Alleged Theft Targeted On-Duty Dollar General Employee

Two suspects were arrested by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department after police allege one of the suspects stole from a Dollar General employee while the employee was on duty at a south location on Feb 24, 2026. Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers took the two people into custody following the reported incident that targeted an on-duty Dollar General worker.

Police allege the theft occurred while the victim was working at the Dollar General location; investigators identified the incident as a targeted theft against an employee rather than a conventional shoplifting event. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department executed arrests related to that allegation on Feb 24, 2026 and booked two suspects in connection with the case.

The on-duty status of the Dollar General employee at the time of the alleged theft is a central detail in the police account; CMPD records from Feb 24, 2026 list the incident as involving an employee vittimization at a south location. Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers reported that the response and subsequent arrests directly followed the allegation that one suspect had taken property from the Dollar General employee while the employee was performing work duties.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department handling of the matter on Feb 24, 2026 produced two arrests tied to the alleged targeted theft of a Dollar General employee on duty at a south site. The department's action concluded with both suspects in custody after police allege the theft occurred during the employee's shift, and CMPD has control of the case stemming from the Feb 24, 2026 incident.
