WESTFIELD – An assistant manager of a pizza restaurant who called police to turn himself in for stealing from the pizza shop has not been fired and no charges have been filed.
City police report that a city resident called at 6:37 p.m. Friday and said that he has been stealing money from his employer “for quite sometime.” He said he would wait for police outside the restaurant.
Officer William Cavanaugh responded and reports that the man, who said he was an assistant manager of a Main Street pizza shop, said that he had taken cash from the store in the past.
Cavanaugh reports that the manager was aware of her employee’s actions but nonetheless opted to retain his services.
A second officer, Sean Smith, also spoke with manager who repeated her intention to continue to employ the man and declined to pursue criminal charges.
The man was advised not to steal again.
