Follow up to: 

For a series of thefts going back to January, a security manager at Oakland Mall was arrested and charged by Troy Police this week.

Jeffrey Douglas Maul, 36, of Troy, was charged on Wednesday with breaking and entering a building, a 10-year felony, at Bosco's Barber Shop. He was also charged with four counts of larceny in a building, each a four-year felony, at different stores in the mall.

Police responded to Manic Shoes on Monday, when approximately $300 was missing from a locked cash register in the store. Police said that in reviewing in-store video, a man identified by a fellow security officer as the security manager was seen going into the register.

Police interviewed Maul, who admitted to the theft at Manic, along with four other thefts that have happened at the mall since Jan. 7, according to police. In a statement released Tuesday, Prudential Security called the situation an "isolated, internal incident."

Clement Waldmann, a 52-4 District Court Magistrate, set bond at $15,000. Maul is scheduled to appear before 52-4 District Court Judge Kirsten Hartig on April 30.
