If you want to avoid getting scammed for a couple of hundred bucks, or worse, you might want to be careful who you let into your workplace, even if they look like they’re supposed to be there.
A handful of people at Memorial Hospital learned that the hard way last month after Crystal Hughley, 33, allegedly dressed as an employee, walked into a restricted area and stole credit cards from the break room, according to court documents.
Crystal HughleyHughley is a former employee of Memorial and she wore a name badge with her name on it to avoid raising suspicion at the hospital on DeSales Avenue. She gained access to the breakroom by telling an employee that her access code wasn’t working.
The victims realized something was wrong a short while later when they were notified someone had made several purchases with their credit cards at area clothing stores totaling several hundred dollars.
Investigators found Hughley went to Memorial North Park two days later and committed the exact same crime, convincing an employee to let her into the breakroom, stealing a credit card and then using that card to purchase a Playstation at Walmart.
