AUGUSTA, Ga.---Richmond County deputies arrested five employees at the Deans Bridge Road Walmart and accused them of stealing on the job.

Deputies say they have surveillance video that shows the workers stealing more than a half a dozen video game systems.

The five workers were unloaders at the store responsible for unpacking electronic merchandise from pallets.

Deputies arrested Marquell Jones and Keith Wells for allegedly stealing four Play Station 3 video game systems. Investigators say the pair unloaded the items threw them over the store's Garden Center fence and Jones then took them to his car. Surveillance video from the store allegedly shows the crime committed twice within a two week period.

Three other employees, Chad McGee, Justin Whisnate and Gary Williams are accused of a similar crime. Investigators say McGee put another video gaming system in the Walmart Garden Center and Justin Whisnate allegedly handed the system over the fence to Gary Williams.

All have been charged.
