Qld woman who reported theft charged

A staff member who reported an armed robbery at an electronics shop in the Queensland town of Gympie is now accused of pocketing the missing cash.

The 34-year-old woman called officers to the Dick Smith store on Mary Street on Tuesday after reporting an armed hold-up.

But it has turned out she's the one who stole cash from the till, police allege.

She's been charged with one count of stealing as a servant and will front Gympie Magistrates Court on March 16.
