Bank employee charged with stealing more than $150,000

Nebraska State SealSCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — A bank employee in eastern Nebraska has been accused of stealing more than $150,000 at her job through falsified loans over a nearly five-year period.

Court records show 37-year-old Diana Sanchez, of Schuyler, is charged with nine felony counts of theft by unlawful taking. She is scheduled to make an appearance Tuesday in Colfax County Court.

Records do not list an attorney for Sanchez, who was arrested October 1st. She was released from a detention facility after posting bond.

Sanchez recently worked as a residential mortgage lender at a Pinnacle Bank branch.  She is accused of accessing customer information to create and process loan checks ranging from about $5,000 to $30,000. Court documents say she cashed the checks at the bank and pocketed the money.
