Iowa woman accused of stealing from credit union

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - A woman has been accused of stealing more than $40,000 from a credit union branch in Waterloo.

Court records say 60-year-old Barbara Einfelt is charged with theft and forgery. A woman who answered a phone listed for Einfelt on Monday said Einfelt was not there. Einfelt’s attorney declined to comment.

Authorities say Einfelt was working at a Chicago Central & Commerce Credit Union branch when officials noticed more than $27,000 was missing from the vault. A follow-up investigation showed nearly $13,000 had been taken from two member accounts. Court records say the two members are relatives of Einfelt.
