A glamorous young cop who starred in an official anti-theft video was allegedly caught stealing cash from a police station while being entrusted with a temporary promotion, a court has heard.
Constable Brearna Kelsi Sloss was charged with 14 counts of theft after allegedly stealing $1,100 at Christchurch Central Police Station in New Zealand and faced Christchurch District Court last week.
Sloss, wearing bright pink lipstick, was the public face of a police video where her and a male colleague advised cyclists how to avoid becoming the victims of bikes theft.
The video was made only months before Sloss allegedly stole money on several occasions from her workplace. It has since been deleted from police social media platforms
The video was made only months before Sloss allegedly stole money on several occasions from her workplace. It has since been deleted from all police social media platforms.
Sloss was in an acting sergeant’s role, working at the front counter of the station, at the time of the alleged theft, Stuff reported.
She allegedly took amounts of between $300 and $20 over several months, the court heard.
Sloss was granted interim name suppression which also kept her occupation out of the spotlight when the charges were first laid in August.
But the name suppression lapsed this week.
Her boss, Canterbury metro area commander Superintendent Lane Todd confirmed the charges.Â
