Fort Lauderdale man accused of stealing over $250K from Tires Plus stores

A Fort Lauderdale man is accused of stealing more than $250,000 from Tires Plus stores while working as a district manager for the automotive company.

Louis J. Dailey, 60, was arrested Tuesday in Lighthouse Point on charges of grand theft, organized fraud and communications fraud, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Beginning in 2009, Dailey instructed employees to process hundreds of fraudulent petty cash transactions under the guise that they were for email advertising at local Chamber of Commerce offices, the department said. In doing so, Dailey was allegedly able to steal more than $104,000 from the stores.
