An employee of an area store is accused of stealing nearly $5,500 in merchandise and cash from a store she worked at inside the Salina Central Mall according to police.
Police say that they were notified by the business that while 27-year-old Tiffany Quevedo was employed at Claire’s, she wrote 85 checks to the business.

The checks were used to purchase merchandise, and to get cash and that at the time that the checks were written she knew that her account had no money in it and in fact that it had been closed. They were all written between April and July of this year police said.
The store management filed a complaint with the police department for fraud after terminating Quevedo and she was arrested Wednesday.
Police say that charges range from felony theft, issuing bad checks and fraud.
The ex-employee was taken to the county jail and was being held pending bail.
Police aren’t sure yet if there are other retailers in the mall who may have also received checks form Quevedo.
