School Accountant 'Stole $2m Lunch Money'

A former school accountant has been accused of stealing more than $2m (£1.3m) of student lunch money in California.

Judith Oakes, who worked for the Rialto school district for 25 years, was allegedly caught on security video stuffing cash from the school meals programme into her bra.

Police say she may have stolen as much as $3m (£2m) over the past seven years.

Rialto Police Captain Randy De Anda told CBS-LA News: "Obviously she had access to large sums of money and she was able to possess those large sums of money and get them out of the building." 

The money was meant to feed children in the Rialto school district

He said when officers went to Oakes' house in August to arrest her, they found thousands of dollars in stolen cash.

The case is believed to be the largest white-collar crime that Rialto police have investigated, Captain De Anda added.

Oakes, 48, who earned $60,000 (£40,000) a year, has not yet been charged.

Police allegedly found thousands of dollars in cash at Oakes' home

Rialto Unified School District said in a statement: "The district is continuing to work closely with law enforcement to make sure that those criminally responsible are identified and prosecuted. 

"We are taking all appropriate steps to recover the lost funds."

Several agencies, including the federal government, are investigating because she had access to federal school funds.
