A former bank worker in Wilmington, Delaware, is accused of stealing thousands from a dead customer’s account.

The New Castle County Division of Police has arrested 25-year-old Latia Wynn, also known as Itiyya Wynn of Wilmington regarding multiple theft-related charges.

Back in February, police said officers were dispatched to a residence on Constitution Boulevard and met with the family of a victim who had passed away from a motor vehicle accident.

Police said the family was in the process of closing all the deceased victim’s accounts when they noticed a significant amount of money missing.

After an investigation, police said they had identified the suspect as Wynn.
