Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 by Single Scheme do Not Issue After Clerk Magistrate Hearing

Our client worked for a warehouse distribution company. He was in charge of the loading docks. After revenue losses from the company began to add up a private investigation company was hired to locate the source of the loss. The investigation led them to the loading docks where it was determined that invoices and received revenue were manipulated resulting in a significant loss to the company. Consequently, the company started video recording activities on the docks. They quickly learned that our client had in fact been manipulating the books and reselling merchandise for a substantial profit. He was given a clerk’s hearing charging him with larceny by a single scheme over $1,200 a felony in Massachusetts under G.L. c. 266 section 30.
