An 18-year-old Euclid man was charged earlier this month with stealing $17,000 via fictitious credit card transactions at the new Silverspot Cinema in Orange’s Pinecrest Shopping Center, “where East meets Best.”

Fox 8 first reported that Antonio Rice, who was hired by the theater in September, was arrested and taken to the Solon City Jail.

Rice’s recurring thefts — 156 phony credit card transactions in all, plus money lifted from the cash drawer — were spotted by a manager during a routine audit of the theater’s books. Security footage revealed that Rice was crediting fictitious purchases to various credit cards when no customers were at his register.

Pinecrest’s pricey boutique movie theater, where you can order food and beverages at your seat, is the first Great Lakes outpost for the Naples-Florida-based chain. It opened in June

  1. They stole money from me at the bar, and manager tried to down play the whole ordeal. I dont see this place staying open unless they change management. They loose tons of money messing up food orders as well. Im still waiting on my free movie tickets from general manager for my experience that has never come (2months ago)

  2. Pinecrest is the gift that keeps on taking…. taking tax money from schools, taking trees from natural areas, taking the safety out of orange, taking businesses from other malls, and taking all the crime from Beachwood and bringing it closer. Thanks!
