Bookkeeper Embezzles Over $83,000 from Employer


Location: Main Light Industries, 1614 Newport Gap Pike, Wilmington, Delaware
Date of Occurrence: April 2009 – December 2009

Involved Parties: Amy N. Scott, 35, of Hockessin, Delaware

Resume:
In April of this year, a representative from Main Light Industries, located on Newport Gap Pike, responded to Troop 2 to report an alleged internal theft.

It was learned that towards the end of 2009 and into 2010, Main Light Industries started to receive notices regarding unexplained owed monies to various businesses on unpaid balances. A records review of the company’s books revealed multiple checks were written against the business’s account between April and December of 2009. In all, the company suffered a loss of over $83,000.00.

Ultimately, it was determined former bookkeeper Amy N. Scott had written multiple checks to herself and deposited the money into her personnel bank account.

Earlier today, Ms. Scott voluntarily turned herself in to detectives at Troop 2 and was formally charged with felony Theft and six counts of felony Falsifying Business Records. She was arraigned and released on a $17,000.00 unsecured bond.
