GameStop employees fake PS3 theft, face charges

cuffedTwo GameStop employees were arrested earlier this week in connection with the theft of four PlayStation 3 units. Tauryn Robert Hodge and Gerald Anthony Keys, both 19, face charges of suspected embezzlement, burglary, and conspiracy. Hodge has also been slapped with a charge for filing a false police report.

Last Thursday, on the eve of the PlayStation 3 launch, Hodge told police that two armed gunmen robbed his GameStop and made off with four of the coveted consoles. Despite not yet recovering the stolen PS3s, detectives have determined that Hodge and at least one other accomplice were actually the ones responsible for the theft. Both Hodge and Keys have posted bail and are no longer in police custody.

They probably used the money they earned from ebaying the stolen ps3s to post bail if they actually stole the PS3. They should of pre-ordered it, or buy it when they saved up enough cash for a PS3. Better yet, buy a nintendo wii, and wait for the PS3 to go on sale in a few months.
