Ex-bank worker charged with fraud, embezzlement in New Mexico


Officials say he was supposed to be depositing customer’s money into their bank account. Instead a former bank employee is accused of forging customer checks and pocketing the cash.
   
Ray Perez, 28, is charged with fraud and embezzlement.
   
Investigators say Perez forged checks in the name of Albuquerque Bank of the West customers, some of whom are elderly.
   
Police say Perez took nearly $4,500.
   
Bank of the West reimbursed the customers who were victims.
   
The bank says Perez was fired before the fraud was uncovered on unrelated matters.
   
Perez has bonded out of jail.
