An employee stole 24 bottles of vegetable oil and 100 cans of fish from the employer's warehouse, loaded them onto a company pickup truck, and drove away. The Supreme Court found the defendant guilty of aggravated theft under Section 335(11) and Section 336 bis. The critical factor was the perpetrator's intention to use the vehicle to facilitate transporting stolen goods. This case established that even employees without specific custodial responsibilities for company goods can commit aggravated theft from an employer.
