A man wanted in an employee theft ring at Walmart surrendered to police Wednesday night.
Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Chuck Hasty said Caron Makease Williams, 21, came to the police department around 8 p.m.
Williams, of Roanoke Rapids, was charged with obtaining property by false pretense and conspiracy. He was given a $2,000 bond and June 12 court date.
Jennifer Renee Arrington, 22, of Enfield remains the only person yet to be served in the case.
The charges in the case center around nine thefts by employees that began on March 16 and continued through March 30.
Police said Wednesday the employees would take turns going to each other's register with items that included clothing, party supplies and food.
In some of the cases, the employees would scan some items and let others bypass the register system, while in others they would hit the scanner and then void items out.
Police believe the scope of the theft could go beyond those currently facing charges and the matter remains under investigation.
Arrests in the case have been ongoing since last week when, on April 12, Tashyra Monea Alston, 19, of Roanoke Rapids, turned herself in.
Alston faces nine counts of obtaining property by false pretense and five counts of conspiracy.
Also arrested and charged with obtaining property by false pretense and conspiracy are:
Keandra Person, 22, of Roanoke Rapids, and Keswana Imonni Mitchell, 20, of Gaston.
