According to Detective Jeffrey I. Norita, Rogolifoi — an employee of a Shell gasoline station — has been stealing money from the company by running false credit purchases or by manually running charges on fleet cards from customers then keeping cash payments.
Merle Hudkins filed a theft case against Rogolifoi on Jan. 13.
Hudkins told police that the company had received numerous complaints from customers whose fleet or credit cards were indicating deductions without their knowledge or authorization, Norita said.
When confronted, Rogolifoi admitted to have committed at least 15 transactions amounting to over $1,000.
On Feb. 24, Hudkins provided Norita with documents that included the list of those who had disputed card charges: three companies, one government agency and one individual.
The total amount involving these transactions amounted to $575.53.
Hudkins also provided copies of forged receipts and copies of unauthorized credit card purchases worth $30.02.
“This amount was refunded by the company of the victim. Hudkins added that there are other transactions that have not been confirmed and is still pending. The total amount stolen may be higher,” Norita said.
Judge Kenneth L. Govendo retained the $10,000 bail imposed on Rogolifoi who was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections after her initial appearance and bail hearing on Friday afternoon.
