A Carlisle man faces charges after allegedly stealing cash and gift cards from his workplace, according to Cumberland County Police. Tynan Burwell, 27, is accused of taking more than $2,700 and over $400 in gift cards from a Flying J convenience store located on the 1500 block of Harrisburg Pike in Middlesex Township.
The incident, which occurred on November 13, was discovered after the store manager reviewed surveillance footage. The video reportedly shows Burwell accessing two registers and a safe, from which he removed $2,729.51 in cash. Additionally, Burwell is seen on camera taking and activating two gift cards with amounts of $175 and $227.
During a subsequent police interview, Burwell claimed he used the stolen funds for living expenses at a local Motel 6 and for purchasing food and hygiene products.
Charged with theft by unlawful taking and access device fraud, Burwell was unable to post the set bail of $3,000 and is currently held at Cumberland County Prison. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 27.
