Brandy Kaiser, a former employee of Kia of East Hartford, has been arrested for embezzling $142,000 from the dealership to cover personal expenses. Kaiser, 40, of Manchester, is accused of writing checks to herself and using the dealership’s bank account to pay for rent, bills, and an auto loan while employed at the company.
A thorough investigation revealed that Kaiser had been taking large sums of money over an undisclosed period. She turned herself in to East Hartford police earlier in January. Kaiser faces charges including larceny, identity theft, and illegal use of a payment card.
The case highlights the importance of holding individuals accountable for fraud and theft, said Detective Christina Johnston of the East Hartford Police Department. The investigation was crucial in uncovering the full extent of Kaiser’s actions, and police remain committed to safeguarding the community from similar fraudulent activities.
