Ariel Foster, 19, was arraigned Friday morning a day after officials announced her arrest on Thursday.
Investigators said some items scanned at a register of the Lovisa jewelry store in the Burlington Mall where Foster worked had their price increased. Investigators said the cost of the item was then allegedly refunded to a credit card belonging to Foster.
Police identified eight such transactions, adding up to a total loss of $547,187. Police said they also determined Foster was at the store when the breaches occurred.
Police said bank records showed Foster, a student at Lasell University, made several expensive purchases in February including $35,000 for a new Tesla, almost $6,000 on airline tickets, more than $20,000 on a hotel in Maui and almost $5,000 at Louis Vuitton.
Officials said Foster was arrested without incident on Wednesday after Burlington and Boston police officers, along with Lasell University Police, executed search warrants on her residence and dormitory at Lasell.
Foster was charged with larceny over $1,200, according to the Burlington Police Department. She was released on bail prior to her arraignment.
