Naperville bank manager charged with theft

Police have arrested a Naperville bank manager and accused her of pocketing funds from a deceased Canadian client, officials said.

Katherine Nguyen, of 797 Lewisburg Lane in Aurora, has been indicted by a DuPage County Grand Jury on one count of theft by deception, said Commander Dave Hoffman of the Naperville Police Department.

Nguyen, who worked at U.S. Bank in Naperville, kept four certificates of deposit from a woman who was an executor of an estate for a deceased Canadian relative, Hoffman said.

The theft occurred between March and April of 2007, he added.

"It took a long time to pin the whole thing down," he said.

Earlier this year, the executor realized Nguyen kept four of the eight CDs in total that she was directed to cash in and turned the information over to authorities.

The total amount of the four Nguyen kept was about $4,000, police said.

Nguyen was held on $10,000 bond, but paid the required 10 percent and is free on bail. She is due in court today for arraignment.
