LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Lehigh Acres woman is facing 6 years in prison after being found guilty of stealing cash from an elderly couple's bank account while working as a bank teller.
33-year-old Altagracia Ortuno was sentenced Monday to 6 years in prison, followed by 20 years probation. She must also pay $209,000 in restitution.
According to the State Attorney's Office, Ortuno was a teller for BMO-Harris Bank in Bonita Springs when she used the customer's ID info to illegally withdraw approximately $201,000 from their bank account over the course of 15 months.
Ortuno left the bank when the customer reported the theft. She was later terminated before being arrested last May.
Authorities say Ortuna used the money for plastic surgery, football tickets, a pick-up truck, and thousands of dollars on music from iTunes.
