Florida Sam’s Club receipt checker allegedly helped man steal $58K in TVs, other high-end merch

A receipt checker at a Florida Sam’s Club has been accused of letting a man walk out with stolen televisions and other high-end merchandise nearly 50 times — in a con pilfering $58,000 in goods.

Brenda Jacqueline Gayle Archer, 57, manned the door of the wholesale store in Sunrise, Fla., and would rubber-stamp the receipts of Troy Sidney Lawrence, 36, after he bought low-priced items and used the receipt to walk out with high-ticket items, NBC Miami reported, citing arrest records.

Archer, of Lauderhill, and Lawrence, of Sunrise, were arrested Tuesday for the “recurring scheme in which the same male suspect repeatedly exited the store with unpaid merchandise while purchasing only a minimal amount of low-cost items,” the reports said.

The club — located at 13550 West Sunrise Boulevard — earlier this month discovered missing TVs and other items with high price tags, which prompted an internal investigation and a review of six months of surveillance video.

The store uncovered that Lawrence made off with unpaid items on 46 occasions when Archer was assigned to check receipts at the exit of the wholesale club.

But each time she failed to check the items in his cart against his receipt, cops allege.

For example, Lawrence on June 8 paid for a TV wall mount — but brazenly waltzed out with two Samsung TVs, surveillance footage and store purchase records showed.

Sam’s Club alleges the total the pair stole was worth $58,000.
