Santos pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000
admitting to “large-scale employee theft” of London Drugs products between 2017 and 2022
Santos was hired in October 2016 as a merchandise handler and was moved into handling high-value items
he began taking items from the company and the thefts became more frequent after he began working in the high-value area of the warehouse

Provincial court Judge Nancy Phillips summarized the “unsophisticated” scheme during a sentencing hearing by video conference on July 19
“He would remove items such as laptops from their packaging
go to his locker area in the employee room
and then secrete the item in a pack,” read the ruling
“He would leave at the end of the shift with the item in his pack.”
Santos was taking advantage of knowing backpacks were not searched when an employee left at the end of a shift
He would list the items for sale on Craigslist at a discount
raking in somewhere between $750,000 and $1 million
The retail value of the stolen goods was about $2 million
Phillips noted Santos repeated the backpack trick many times to reach those big numbers
and used the money to “fund his lifestyle and to do such things as paying bills
London Drugs management first became aware of the serial thefts when a supervisor spotted Santos slipping a laptop into his clothing
He was surveilled and CCTV video was reviewed during which he was seen taking about $100,000 worth of goods
Santos was confronted by management and was described by both Crown counsel and defence lawyers as “being fully co-operative with the employer
He admitted to stealing items over the past five years and ultimately provided an itemized recounting of all the thefts and the approximate profits from those thefts.”
Santos was also said to have co-operated with the police investigation and confessed in a statement to the years-long theft
“He added that he was unhappy with the company and its wages and pace
and he started to steal in a bit of an act of vengeance against his employer.”
He surrendered 13 items he had not yet resold so the company could recoup some losses
A victim impact statement written by London Drugs’ manager of investigations Kimberly Radomsky called it a “devastating theft of merchandise from their distribution facility” by a trusted employee who violated that trust
Radomsky said many of the thefts came during the pandemic when the B.C.-based retailer was struggling
and the investigation consumed hundreds of hours that took an “emotional toll.” She asked the court to hold Santos accountable
A joint submission from the Crown and defence suggested similar offences usually result in jail terms from 18 months to four years
with the Crown suggesting Santos’s sentence should be in the higher end because of his abuse of trust
“his guilty plea and full co-operation” should also be considered
Defence lawyers also asked the court to consider that Santos has no criminal record
“admits shame” and “deeply regrets his behaviour.” He also accepts that “one of the biggest consequences to him will be that his employment prospects in the future will be hugely negatively impacted.”
“He understands he has to pay for what he has done,” said Phillips
But the court noted Santos “allowed his dissatisfaction as an employee with London Drugs to cause him to act out in vengeance and from there it gained momentum.”
the judge agreed that $2 million in stolen goods — about 245 items over five years — was an aggravating factor that was “staggering relative to other cases.”
Santos was ordered to pay $750,000 in restitution and submit a DNA sample
While the judge said prospects for paying that restitution by the July 2025 deadline are slim to none
it at least spares London Drugs from having to make a civil claim against Santos
