Resume: Earlier today, detectives from the Troop 2 Financial Crimes Division completed a long term investigation and arrested Andrew Chambers for Theft and Falsifying Business Records, both felonies.

Back on September 19th of 2009, a representative from Mr. Mulch, located on Summit Bridge Road, called authorities to report an employee of the business had stolen money from the company between 2007 and 2009.

Detectives sorted through three years worth of business records and learned that Mr. Chambers had altered the company’s business records and also wrote checks to himself, allowing him to appropriate $79,946.20. As the General Manager of the business, Chambers had access to the aforementioned records and also had access to the company’s bank account.

Chambers voluntarily turned himself in to authorities today. Upon his arraignment, he was released on a $6,000.00 unsecured bond.
