Theft charge against Subway worker dropped
Police have dropped a theft charge against a Dunedin Subway worker who was sacked for sharing a drink with a friend during a break.
At a status hearing in Dunedin District Court this morning, police used their discretion and withdrew the theft charge against Jackie Lang.
Ms Lang was fired from her fulltime job and was to face a theft charge in court on May 21 after she shared a Diet Coke drink while consoling an upset friend.
Subway allows free soda and water to staff who are working.
However, police brought forward the status hearing to this morning and formally withdrew the charge.
