Nicole Perkins, 52, and Alisha Taylor, 51, were arrested by Greenville police on Thursday, July 31, in the 1500 block of SW Greenville Boulevard. The investigation stems from activities at Red Oak Grill and Grocery.
Perkins has been charged with eight counts of embezzlement, accused of stealing both cash and lottery tickets. Taylor faces eight counts of felony conspiracy and larceny by an employee. Warrants state Taylor worked with Perkins in the scheme and also stole additional items from the store.

Their first court appearance is scheduled for Friday, August 1, at the Pitt County Courthouse.
