A 26-year-old Morristown man allegedly stole wads of cash worth more than $2,000 on his first day at work at the Dunkin' Donuts on Lafayette Avenue.

Officer Beverly Downey responded to a report of theft at the store at about 2:25 p.m. Jan. 12, according to an investigation report she filed.

Owner Mahendra Patel told Downey he noticed two bundles of cash — one roll of singles, another of mixed larger bills —totaling $2,136 was missing from a drawer, the report said.

When Downey asked if any employees had been in the office that day, Patel said Tyrone D. Harris had been, but he had left prior to the officer's arrival, according to the report.

Patel and Downey then watched surveillance video that clearly showed Harris stealing the cash, the report said. The new employee only spent seven minutes in the store.

The video showed that while Harris was receiving his name tag from Patel, the manager opened a drawer that displayed the bundle of cash, and then Harris grabbed it when Patel walked away and hid it on himself, the report said.

According to the report, Harris then walked to the back of the store and hung up his coat to begin his training. But just a few minutes later, Harris walked back to Patel's office, told him he'd finish his training online and left, the report said.

A search of the area for Harris came up empty, according to the report, and a complaint was filed against him for theft. The manager was told to contact police if Harris returned, the report said.
