A bank investigator told police Monday that a teller admitted taking $2,000 from another teller’s drawer at a branch location inside a grocery store in the 500 block of West University Drive.

The problem began in November, when the teller asked another employee to make change and then shorted the other employee in the transaction, the investigator told police. Neither of the tellers’ drawers balanced that day, triggering the investigation.

In addition to providing documents that show the teller deposited $2,000 in a personal account the same day, the investigator told police that the teller admitted to taking the money to pay a college tuition bill.
