A 23-year-old Fresno woman pleaded guilty Monday to stealing more than $70,000 from customers while she was employed at a bank, prosecutors said.
Lladira Hernandez in April 2022 was hired as a customer service representative at a Fresno-based bank, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
She began stealing bank account information of multiple customers she helped over the phone, and used it to pay bills for herself and others, prosecutors said. That included mortgage and car payments, as well as phone bills.
Hernandez transferred more than $45,000 from two customer accounts to her own account before quitting from the bank in August, the release said.
She was caught on surveillance video withdrawing the money from her account, prosecutors said.
Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ana de Alba on Sept. 5, and she faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, the release said.
