A Coles store boss who was “caught red-handed with $38,770 in cash” as he attempted to fleece the supermarket giant of more than $90,000 has been jailed. Dean Andrew Stevenson, 32, managed the Cannon Hill store in Brisbane’s east in 2020 and 2021 in a role that gave him passcodes to access receptacles containing huge volumes of cash. He first pilfered a sum of $16,210 in late 2020 before taking $7520 a short time later, sparking an investigation into the missing money.
“You were caught red-handed with $38,770 in cash,” District Court Judge Paul Smith said in sentencing Stevenson in February, in remarks published this week. That money was given back to Coles, but “$51,240 is outstanding”, Smith said. Smith noted Stevenson had been gambling “large sums of money” and had been depressed by his and his partner’s decision to terminate a pregnancy.
