FORT MILL — Two teenage employees have been banned from Carowinds after deputies say they stole hundreds of dollars from the amusement park, stuffing the cash in their shoes and spending it on clothes.

Deputies on Saturday met with Carowinds security officers who learned that Charles Grandison of Charlotte and Catawba’s Donta Johnson, both 17, allegedly stole money from the registers while working at a park kiosk, according to a York County Sheriff’s report. The two suspects, the security officers claim, would keep customers’ receipts after they made a purchase. They would then void out the receipt’s amount to make it look as if the order had been canceled out and keep the money to themselves, the report states.

Johnson voided $255 on Saturday, but never took it from the register, the report states. Johnson told deputies that he planned to take the $255, but did not have the chance. He admitted that he took money from the register in the past. He once took $200 and then later took $80 on a separate day, the report states. He used the money, he told deputies, to buy clothes and other personal items.

Grandison told deputies he had $484 in his shoes and he took $100 sometime within the past three months, the report states. He told deputies he used the money to buy personal items. Security found the money in Grandison’s shoe.

Both Grandison and Johnson were charged with breach of trust and issued lifetime trespass notices from Carowinds.

Stupid stupid stupid!! Do these young kids really think there are no checks and balances with each and every transaction? Duhhhhh, maybe no one will notice that I voided $200 in transactions. Definitely a lack of connected brain cells....

Seems like every year there is an article about a Carowinds employee stealing something. Remember the girl that worked on Intimidator that stole the iPhone? She was tracked down by the "find my iPhone" app. Hilarious!

Thats so stupid it's hilarious. I understand the youth need a job maybe, but it's like they're getting younger and more incapable of common sense. Hire more adults he may need a seasonal job like teachers or someone. Sad.

No, but I do remember that I once got in the front seat of Intimidator, felt something in the seat as I sat down, and to my amazement, pulled out a brand-new iPhone 4S. The woman who had accidentally left it there had just left the station, so I handed it to the nearest ride attendant and hoped that they were able to track her down.

That was a strange day.

Dang, now I'm going to have to start taking off my shoes leaving work on Saturdays.
