Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announces that 37-year-old Breanna B. Rohauer of Forestville was sentenced yesterday morning before State Supreme Court Justice Paul B. Wojtaszek to 30 days in jail followed by 5 years of probation.

The defendant, while employed at a local bank in the Town of Hamburg, admitted to making numerous unauthorized withdrawals from the bank accounts of several elderly customers. The defendant stole a total of $124,736.00 through fraudulent transactions between November 17, 2017 and February 4, 2019. The victims were reimbursed by the bank.

The defendant, who has not re-paid any of the stolen money to the bank, was ordered to pay the full restitution amount of $124,736.00.
