An investigation is underway into a former Milwaukee Tool employee accused of stealing more than a million dollars worth of tools.
Investigators say the unnamed employee stole about nine-thousand pounds in tools by altering the company’s ordering systems. Milwaukee Tool was tipped off to the threat after noticing one of their shipping addresses was listed as the former employee’s apartment building address. Court documents show the suspect created about 115 orders between March 2024 and 2025. The 31-year-old suspect has not yet been charged.
