On April 21, 2026, officers of the Fridley Police Department responded to Sam’s Club located in the city of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota, for a delayed theft report. Officers made contact with a manager, who told officers that she had noticed while doing inventory that several gaming monitors were unaccounted for. When the manager reviewed store surveillance footage, she discovered that on three separate occasions an employee, Edmund Djabaku Ocansey Jr., [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, took one of the gaming monitors off the shelf, walked to his personal vehicle parked in the loading area of the store, and loaded the monitor in his vehicle without making any attempt to pay.
