Someone impersonated a former employee of a business to steal merchandise from hardware stores on May 14.

The incident took place at the Renton and Kent McLendon Hardware but was reported on June 12 when a store manager discovered they had been robbed.

A man claiming to be an employee of a local funeral home came into the hardware store in Renton at 12:18 on May 14 and purchased items.

Earlier that day, the man apparently went to the Kent store and made purchases at 1:29 p.m. and 1:31 p.m.

His purchases totaled $2,041.57 and each time he gave someone else’s name from a business account with the store.

A McLendon employee contacted the funeral home to verify the man was who he stated.

After reviewing a video of the purchases, the funeral director said he was 90 percent sure that the person making the purchases was not his former employee.
