Bangor Savings Bank branch in Searsport uncovers 30K embezzlement
December 6, 2011
Total Loss:
$30,000
A Bangor Savings Bank employee is accused of embezzling nearly $30,000 from customers at its Searsport branch, a bank official confirmed Monday morning.
The alleged thief was terminated after the bank did an internal investigation, said spokesman Yellow Light Breen. He did not identify the person or that person’s position at the bank.
Officials last Monday contacted the 55 customers whose accounts at the bank branch were affected to let them know.
Then on Friday the bank branch mailed a letter about the embezzlement to 2,700 other customers who bank at that branch.
