Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced the arrest of 43-year-old AMIRA T. WHITE of Belleville, NJ, on charges of theft by deception. The arrest is the result of a months-long investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Chief Matthew Finck.
In March of 2024, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit was contacted regarding an alleged theft and abstraction of customer funds at a Bergen County bank. The investigation revealed that AMIRA T. WHITE, a bank manager, stole $54,648 from cash boxes located at the bank and maintained by her. Additionally, WHITE withdrew approximately $15,000 from a customer’s account and diverted those funds to her own cash box balance in order to conceal the ongoing theft.
As a result of the investigation, AMIRA T. WHITE surrendered to detectives at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, and she was charged with two counts of third-degree theft by deception, N.J.S.A. 2C:20-4a. WHITE was released pending a first appearance in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack, NJ.
Prosecutor Musella states that the charges are merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutor Musella thanks the Belleville Police Department for its assistance in this investigation.
