EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY -- Three Weis Supermarket employees are locked-up after police say they stole $90,000 worth of merchandise from the store.

James Accatino, James Wolfertz and Richard Braun are charged with theft and criminal conspiracy.

Investigators say while working the night shift at the East Stroudsburg supermarket they would take thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes at a time.

Police say they've been swiping the smokes for the past 18 to 24 months. They were caught on surveillance earlier this month.

All three are locked-up in Monroe County.
