The manager told police that the employee had been taking the gift cards over the course of 9 days.
The employee was identified as Kelly Vines, of Fairlee.
The manager provided video footage of the cashier area and a printout of the cash register purchase history to the police.
Following an investigation, police found an approximate value to be $1,690 in Sephora, Amazon, EBAY, and Apple gift cards were taken by Vines.
Vines was charged with embezzlement and is scheduled to appear in court in March.
