A 34‑year‑old senior bank teller was arrested following the discovery of a P4,399,838.74 discrepancy in a depositor’s account at a bank along C. Raymundo Avenue, Barangay Rosario, Pasig City on Monday, 14 September.

The suspect is now facing a complaint for qualified theft through falsification of commercial document.

The case unfolded when the account holder verified a P46,000 interest payment supposedly deposited by his debtor—an amount that did not appear in his account. A subsequent review of his statement of account revealed a drastic drop from an expected P5,000,000.00 balance to P600,161.26, exposing the multimillion‑peso discrepancy.

Bank management immediately initiated an internal inquiry. Reports indicate that the senior teller had long assisted the depositor with his transactions. During an internal hearing, the suspect allegedly admitted to taking the funds and falsifying the depositor’s specimen signature to facilitate unauthorized withdrawals.

Bank personnel escorted the suspect to the Rosario Police Sub‑Station to formally report the incident, leading to her arrest. She was later transferred to the Pasig City Police Station for documentation and filing of the appropriate complaint, and subsequently brought to Rizal Medical Center for physical examination.

The suspect remains under police custody and faces the appropriate complaint for qualified theft through falsification of commercial document, as detailed in the official report.
