ROCHESTER, N.H. — A Maine woman who formerly worked at a New Hampshire bank has been charged with making fraudulent withdrawals from a customer’s account during a two-year period.
Authorities say 32-year-old Kristin Fallon of Berwick, Maine, was arrested Friday on a charge of theft by unauthorized taking, a felony.
Foster’s Daily Democrat reports that the arrest came after a five-month investigation begun when police met with internal investigators at the Profile Bank in Rochester, N.H., about numerous unauthorized withdrawals from a customer’s account. Police would not say how much was taken.
Fallon was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned next month.
What makes these embezzlers think they are so damn smart and can beat the auditors? No amount of money stolen is worth going to prison over. They never learn.
It starts with them taking just a small amount, they may even intend to pay it back at first. But as time goes along it gets easier to steal, they havent been caught yet and then they get careless and caught. You and I think alike. It is only a matter of time before crimes like this get traced back to the person doing them. Its better just to be honest and short on cash or without certain material things than it is to have material things and cash but always worry about getting caught.
Odds that she broke down and sobbed when faced with the evidence? Oh, about 192%. ‘Cue The Tears.’ It’s what they do.
