More Stealing, More Doing: Cops Say Home Depot Cashier Stole More Than $8,500 Worth of Merchandise

A cashier at the South Bell Road Home Depot stole more than $8,500 worth of merchandise in just over a month, police said.

Hector Ibarra, 40, of Lockport was arrested on 14 counts of retail theft Wednesday for allegedly stealing such things as toilet paper, light fixtures and pressure washers.

Deputies were sent to the Homer Glen Home Depot last week to look into the alleged crime. It turned out Ibarra had started filching from his employer in late February and continued until shortly before his arrest, police said.

Ibarra had been working for the Home Depot since 2006, police said.

Ibarra was booked into the Will County jail. His bond was set at $30,000.
