A Kanawha County woman is behind bars and charged with embezzling from her employer.

Police said a loss prevention officer at Kohl's saw Jaunita El-Bedawi place several stolen items under her clothing and then carry them to the employee's locker room.

The officer said $300 worth of stolen merchandise was found in her purse.

Investigators said she admitted to stealing almost $2,000 worth of merchandise since she had started working about three months ago.

She allegedly told them she would sell the stolen merchandise for profit.

El-Bedawi has been charged with embezzlement.
