TJ Maxx employee charged with selling stolen goods in Brooklyn
Allegedly waited until store was closed, loaded items into Minivan
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes on Wednesday announced the indictment of Cornell Poyser, 40, an assistant manager of a TJ Maxx outlet in Oceanside, Long Island, who allegedly stole merchandise from the store after it was closed.
Investigators found that Poyser was renting a store in East Flatbush, where he unloaded, displayed and sold what he had stolen from the national chain-store. The Brooklyn store featured clothing, luggage, shoes perfume and other goods, all from TJ Maxx, according to the indictment. Even the knock-off store’s display racks were from the large retailer.
“Many people dream of starting their own business, but almost all realize that this takes time, hard work and money for inventory. But Cornell Poyser, an assistant manager at a TJ Maxx outlet located in Oceanside in Nassau County, didn’t want to wait. So he found a quicker way,” said Hynes.
