We recently purchased a business and have a wonderful staff. However shortly after the purchase, we heard from several people that one of our employees was suspected of stealing from her second employer. Weeks later, we find she has been terminated from that position (unknown reason), and a potential police investigation pending. Some more weeks later, we hear she is now suspected of stealing from her new second job, but haven't heard anything further about the police investigation.
My question though is simple: what would you do in this situation? I understand this is all hearsay, and could at the very worst be 100% fabricated (however unlikely as it is from multiple sources). Rumors beget rumors, which in turn beget trouble of all kind. I need to quash this.
Should we talk to her directly?
Call her (first) former employer?
Contact the police?
I would sincerely love some advice from anybody who has had a similar experience. I am at somewhat of at a loss.
