Cops: East Meadow Bank Teller Altered Withdrawal Slip to Steal Cash

An East Meadow bank teller faces charges for altering bank documents to take money from a customer’s account, according to Nassau County Police.

Tiffany Harper, 34, of Central Islip, processed a withdrawal for a customer on Aug. 16, 2014 at Chase Bank on Hempstead Turnpike, cops said.

After the transaction was completed, Harper altered the amount written on the withdrawal slip from $1,200 to $4,200, police said. She then took the $3,000 difference from the bank register for herself, police said.

Harper was charged this week with second-degree possession of a forged instrument and fourth-degree grand larceny. She will be arraigned Friday at First District Court in Hempstead.
