A 35-year-old man working as a bread delivery employee in Phoenix, South Africa, has been charged with theft and defeating the ends of justice after allegedly stealing from his employer's safe and falsely claiming that four armed men had committed an armed robbery. According to Gareth Naidoo, a spokesperson for KZN Vip Emergency Services, the incident occurred on Friday at a business located in Palmview. The complainant, an Indian man, initially reported the robbery to authorities, but inconsistencies in his account were discovered during an investigation.
