Teen charged with embezzling $33k

Wilton, Conn. (Patch.com) - In around eight months, Bethel native Stephen Nota allegedly embezzled more than what many people make in a year.

Nota, 18, a former cashier at Caraluzzi's Wilton location, was initially arrested on Jan. 26, 2010 on two counts of sixth-degree larceny stemming from his role in an embezzlement scam.

According to police, Nota was observed through surveillance tapes voiding out cash transactions with a copy of a manager's badge, which he should not have had access to, and then placing the money in the register while maintaing an ongoing tally of his voids throughout his shift. At the end of his shift, he would remove the cash and take it home with him.
