Entrepreneur 15x robbed (by own staff)

It is a sad message, which adorns the front of lamp shop TH Lights in Schoten.

Several staff members were dismissed for theft, but the Flemish police then usually dismissed the case, or the perpetrators came off with a community service. Sometimes the police even found chandeliers in staff at home. Yet it did not stop. 'I was so fed up, I was so angry... ', Entrepreneur Thierry Huion laments.

The employees would have taken both cash and stuff. Huion warns fellow entrepreneurs: 'It happens a lot, a lot. It starts from a toilet roll that they take with them, to thousands of euros. Then they say: yes, maybe it was a customer ', he says to ATV.

According to Huion, entrepreneurs must keep a close eye on the surveillance cameras. He himself does not feel like it anymore. 'It is done, I stop it. '
