A former New York bank employee has been sentenced to three years in prison for her role in a scheme to steal tens of thousands of dollars from customers.
Union County Prosecutor William A. Daniel He says Tijah M. Williams-Rogers used her position as a bank teller to act as an inside “scout,” searching customers’ accounts and stealing more than $75,000 from them.
After searching the financial records of the bank’s customers, Williams-Rogers shared the information with other conspirators to steal money from the accounts she identified as the targets.
Superior Court Judge Gavin Handwerker sentenced Williams-Rogers to three years in New Jersey state prison after she pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery. She must also pay $99,150 in restitution.
The offenses were uncovered through an investigation conducted by Detective Grant Mayes of the UCPO Special Prosecutions Unit between 2022 and 2023, when Williams-Rogers was working as a teller at an unnamed bank in Elizabeth.
Daniel says,
“When individuals in positions of financial trust exploit the community for personal gain, they will be held fully accountable. The state remains committed not only to exposing these organized theft gangs, but also to ensuring strict enforcement of sentences that reflect the seriousness of these crimes.”
