Police in New Hampshire have accused a woman of stealing over USD 300,000 worth of airline miles from a former employer's account.
Thirty-six-year-old Tiffany Tomaselli, of Manchester, was charged Saturday with theft by unauthorized taking and other offenses after she turned herself in to police. Tomaselli was released on USD 5,000 bond. It wasn't immediately known if she had an attorney. A message was left at a phone number today.
Police say executives at the Merrimack-based retailer Brookstone discovered Tomaselli used company airline miles after leaving her position as an executive assistant in 2013. Company officials say Tomaselli accessed a Delta Air Lines account used for business trips. A company audit says Tomaselli used over 2 million points on trips to multiple countries.
A hearing is scheduled for December 7.
