Four Elderly Women Rob U S Treasury Over Years
Four gray haired treasury department workers folded their aprons and left the bureau as a group accused of pilfering small amounts of currency over years. The women, all veterans, worked in the currency redemption chamber under prison like conditions, counting worn bills from banks. The scheme involved slips attached to bundles indicating amounts, enabling small thefts to go unnoticed for a long period. The treasury dismissed them without prosecution due to long federal service and the limited value of the losses.
