A woman who worked for an Alberta financial institution for three decades has been accused of stealing more than a quarter million dollars from her employer.
The Stony Plain/Spruce Grove/Enoch RCMP Serious Crimes Branch began a fraud investigation in 2016, after the suspect’s former employer, Alberta Treasury Branch (ATB), reported irregularities in their banking activity.
The accused worked as a loans officer for ATB for 30 years, and the total theft is estimated at over $250,000, RCMP said.
