Somerset Police Arrest Dollar Tree Manager For Alleged Theft

SOMERSET (WBSM) — Somerset Police arrested a Fall River man in Swansea Monday for allegedly stealing from a Dollar Tree store where he worked as a manager.

According to police, Isaiah Toure, 27, of Fall River was arrested on February 10 with help from Swansea Police at the Dollar Tree store in Swansea.

Toure was the manager of the Somerset Dollar Tree, located at 985 County Street, when it was robbed back on December 4, 2024.

On that date, Somerset Police responded to the store for a report of a silent burglar alarm activation. They went to the store but found no signs of forced entry.

However, the next morning, police received a call from a Dollar Tree supervisor reporting the store had been broken into at some point overnight and the previous night’s deposit bag, containing $2,686.50, had been stolen.

“At the beginning of the investigation, it was clear to investigators that the person(s) involved had inside knowledge of the inner workings of this specific Dollar Tree location,” police said.

“The suspect(s) had keys to enter the building, which is why the Somerset patrol officers had not witnessed any forced entry the night before,” they said. “Moreover, the suspect(s) had knowledge of the keypad codes to enter restricted areas of the building. This information would only have been known by management personnel.”

The investigation led them to Toure, who is now charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime to commit a felony, larceny over $1,200 and two counts of conspiracy.
