    Walter Jose Oliva GOODYEAR, AZ – A Sears employee has been arrested for allegedly stealing $70,000 worth of gift cards in the West Valley.

    Goodyear police say the suspect, 19-year-old Walter Jose Oliva is being charged with felony fraud.

    The Avondale teen was arrested last month, according to reports.

    He worked at the Sears located near Litchfield and Dysart roads, said police.

    Between March and June, Oliva allegedly used fake credit card numbers in order to sell numerous $500 gift cards to fabricated customers, which he then took for himself, police said.

    Oliva allegedly used the stolen gift cards to buy items from other Sears locations and also gave some to his friends, according to police.

    Security at the Sears where Oliva was formally employed started to become suspicious and reported to police when they realized that Oliva had processed multiple fraudulent transactions, according to authorities.

    This case is still being investigated.

    And if this individual is an illegal aliens this Sears should have to pay 25% of their gross income non-deductible for Elderly and Veteran Medical Care. Punishment is necessary for employers, too.
