A subdistrict administration clerk in Nakhon Sawan has been arrested by Anti-Corruption Division (ACD) police for allegedly embezzling more than 15 million baht from her office’s finance department.
Patchara Prasithikam, 41, a clerk with tambon Lat Yao’s accounting department, was arrested yesterday in a meeting room at her office, ACD commander, Pol Maj Gen Jaroonkiat Pankaew said.
She was under investigation after the administration detected an unusually high number of withdrawals from its bank account between Jan 26 last year and Jan 17 this year. In total, 215 withdrawals were made, with about 15.8 million baht taken from the account.
ACD police found that the missing money had been withdrawn by Ms Patchara for her personal use. She was able to withdraw the money as she had the PIN code for the bank account.
