Ohio teller accused of $600,000 in thefts

Friday January 11, 2013 8:45 AM

CINCINNATI (AP) — Authorities in southwest Ohio say a credit union teller created "C-Note sandwiches" to help steal some $600,000 over nearly a decade.

Hamilton County assistant prosecutor Bill Anderson says 62-year-old Linda Fite allegedly swapped $1 bills for $100 bills in stacks of hundreds, leaving $100 bills on the tops and bottoms of the stacks to disguise the theft.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/VXm2Pv ) that an audit last year of large bags of money disclosed the thefts from Cinco Credit Union. Fite faces a potential sentence of three years in prison if convicted.

A message was left for her Friday at her Cincinnati area home.
