Scarsdale Resident Charged in Theft of $12 Million in Gold

Another Scarsdale Mom is in the public eye this week. The Daily News reports that Teresa Tambunting has been charged with lifting gold from her employer over a period of six years.Prosecuters claim that she stole over 500 pounds of gold from Jacmel Jewelery in Long Island City where she worked as a vault manager.  She hid the goods in the lining of her purse and stored it in barrels in the basement of her Fox Meadow home.  Company officials grew suspicious last January when a company audit revealed that $12 million in inventory was missing.

A mother of three, Ms. Tambunting was arraigned Wednesday 4/29 in Queens Criminal Court on grand larceny charges and released on $100,000 bail.
