18-Year-Old Clearwater Walmart Employee Arrested After Allegedly Stealing $2,200 Over Four Days

Ahneria Mosley, an 18-year-old Walmart employee in Clearwater, was arrested and charged with grand theft after surveillance and register audits tied four cash shortfalls to her assigned register, an arrest affidavit summarized by WTSP says. The charge is described as grand theft of an amount greater than $750 but less than $5,000.

Investigators say video first captured Mosley on the evening of Jan. 30 "placing $300 under the register till before putting the cash in her left coat pocket," the affidavit summary reports. That $300 shortfall corresponds to a register audit following the Jan. 30 incident.

The affidavit summary says Mosley was then caught on camera on Feb. 4, Feb. 5 and Feb. 11 "taking money bags meant for her cash register into the restroom." WTSP’s Facebook post of the affidavit summary noted, "Ahneria Mosley was seen going into the bathroom three of the four times with money bags meant for the cash registers, according to an arrest affidavit."

Register audits conducted after each incident showed missing amounts of $300, $800, $600 and $509, investigators said. Those four figures add up to $2,209; republished accounts characterized the aggregate as "more than $2,200." The audits were tied specifically to the employee’s assigned register, the affidavit summary states.

After being read her Miranda rights, Mosley reportedly told officers "the discrepancies were related to lottery withdrawals and money transfers," according to the affidavit summary cited in the reporting. The reporting says Mosley "was arrested and charged" with the grand theft count and that the investigation is ongoing.

Available summaries and republished coverage do not list the specific arresting agency or the exact date and time of Mosley’s arrest, nor do they provide a booking photo, court case number, or the exact Clearwater Walmart store address where the incidents allegedly occurred. Those details remain unconfirmed in the affidavit material that has been summarized and republished.

Among the assembled source material was a separate, unrelated Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office release from 2015 about a different Walmart shoplifting case. That 2015 release says Ryan M. Andrews was alleged to have stolen merchandise on Jan. 12, 2015 at the Walmart at 10237 Bay Pines Blvd. in St. Petersburg and was arrested Feb. 19, 2015 at a residence at 1100 Oakview Avenue, Clearwater; he faced felony retail theft and resisting merchant charges and a booking photo was attached to that release. That 2015 matter is not connected to the Mosley allegations.

The arrest affidavit summary and republished accounts are the basis for the allegations against Mosley; prosecutors and investigators have described the matter as active and the investigation is ongoing.
