A Georgia man faces a federal sandwich after he is accused of stealing from his employer totaling nearly $1 million.

Gwinnett County police detectives arrested a 19-year-old man after he scammed over $980,000 from Kroger, according to a Gwinnett County news release.

The suspect was arrested by White Collar Detectives after he created false returns at the Kroger where he was employed between December and January.

Detectives believe that the suspect was able to create over 40 returns for non-existent items and put them on several credit cards. 

The returns ranged in price from $75 to over $87,000.

 In total, he was able to steal over $980,000 during a two-week time period. 

Corporate employees from Kroger noticed the fraudulent transactions and contacted the police department.

Investigators learned that the suspect purchased clothes, guns, shoes and two vehicles with the money. 

Prior to being arrested, the suspect totaled one of the vehicles. 

A large sum of the money was returned after the suspect was arrested.  He was charged with theft by taking.

Kroger executives found out that nearly $1 million was not being accounted for.

Police said the suspect used the stolen money to buy two cars, clothes, guns and shoes. Before his arrest, the teen reportedly totaled one of the cars, a Chevrolet Camaro, Flynn said.

The investigation began after corporate employees of Cincinnati-based Kroger noticed the transactions.

Police said the suspect stole the money while an employee tasked with flagging fraudulent transactions was on vacation.

A "large sum of money" was returned to Kroger following the arrest, but it wasn't clear Thursday how much was recovered.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The suspect could face 20 years if convicted for grand larceny, fraud and communications theft.
