New York Bank Teller Exposes Customers’ Sensitive Information, Drains $75,000 From Targeted Accounts: Report

Former Bank Teller Sentenced to Three Years in Prison for Stealing $75,000 from Customers

A former bank teller in New York has been handed a three-year prison sentence for her involvement in a scheme that saw tens of thousands of dollars stolen from unsuspecting customers.

Tijah M. Williams-Rogers, the ex-bank teller, exploited her position within the financial institution to serve as an internal “scout,” meticulously scouring through customer accounts and siphoning off more than $75,000 from them.

Utilizing her access to sensitive financial data, Williams-Rogers colluded with other individuals to target specific accounts and orchestrate the theft of funds from unsuspecting customers.

Following her guilty plea to a charge of second-degree theft, Williams-Rogers was sentenced to three years in New Jersey State Prison by Superior Court Judge Gavin Handwerker. In addition to her incarceration, she has been ordered to pay $99,150 in restitution.

An investigation conducted by Detective Grant Mayes of the UCPO Special Prosecutions Unit, spanning from 2022 to 2023, successfully uncovered the fraudulent activities of Williams-Rogers during her employment as a teller at a bank located in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Union County Prosecutor William A. Daniel expressed his firm stance on holding individuals accountable for breaching the trust placed in them by the community for personal gain, emphasizing the commitment of the State to prosecute such organized theft rings and ensure the imposition of appropriate sentences to deter future crimes.
