cats1234 tells us more.
Op here, I do not work at a bank, I work at a bong shop the keeps the money we deposit in the bank in a safe, which only pays a little above minimum wage, they do have cameras but I don't know if the RCMP looked at the footage or not. The RCMP are taking it very seriously and whoever is responsible is going to be charged I just hope they are able to catch the person who really did it. I am certainly not going to replace money I did not take, but more so I would not want the record that goes with it. I don't know if they can charge me without evidence. I didn't know how to respond to some of the things the cop was saying which is what made me nervous (I have pretty bad anxiety). He said I stole the money because I am in a bit of hard times and Easter was coming up and there is no way to track cash, I told him I didn't even buy one piece of chocolate for Easter never mind $1000 worth and the only hard time I'm having is, having my pay withheld because of this situation, which wasn't a good enough answer for the cop. It's hard to prove my innocence because I was the one who found the money missing in the first place, $35 missing from the til and reported it to my manager who said it was probably just a mistake, and to check my coworkers deposit in the safe for the missing money, when I opened it there was only $4.15 when it was supposed to be $350 so I reported that and they came to the conclusion it must be my fault because, their words "I was the last person to see the money" but it was already gone when I got there. Then a week later I did my deposit for the day and put it into the box the next day my coworker said all that was left when she went to the bank was around $10 when it was supposed to be around $400, then my manger decided we take our own deposits home with us and deposit to the bank on our days off which fixed the money going missing problem, but then on Easter Sunday after I closed at around 6:15 and took home my deposit someone went into the store at night and used the alarm code that was just reset a few days before to stop the alarm from going off only me and the other girl know the code, I am pretty sure they didn't take any money that time just broke a bunch of pipes and bongs which is strange. My theory is maybe my coworker didn't know if I would take my deposit home and went to look for it. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Are security cameras nonexistent where you work?
Oh if only. Many times the only evidence to go on is interrogations and such. I'm not saying this is the case here, but OP still has a chance of being convicted of this crime even though he/she most likely is innocent.
I'm so sorry OP. I've been in a similar situation where I was fired for stealing even though it wasn't me! Being accused sucks so much and really impacts your pride. I feel your pain big time. I hope no charges were pressed though. You don't deserve that. Good luck with proving your innocence!
That's sucks. I am sorry. Don't stop fighting for your innocence. Good luck
tell your coworker you will take the blame if he splits it with you if he agrees record the audio it and show it as proof
Yeah, you can't blackmail people and use it as proof.
I know it's a lot easier said than done (trust me, I've been in a similar and every bit as scary situation), but that is why even if you're so nervous you want to bolt out of there, you have to try your very hardest to act as if you are having a casual chat with a friend. What I told myself in my situation was, "Relax, you're innocent, you have nothing to be nervous about." There were other factors that made my situation something to be nervous about, but I was honest, to the point, and tried my hardest to keep my composure. The good news is that they can't really do much if they don't have adequate proof though. Hopefully everything works out!
Don't banks record when someone visits a safety deposit box in case of a problem. Also aren't the box sunder surveillance
I get the exact same way! It the thought of being accused and yell at for no reason that makes me look guilty. I hate when people say if you cry your guilty! Good luck Op!!!!
