Morelia Juma, age 25, of Lynn, and Erna Sejdinvovic, age 26, of Malden, were indicted on theft and embezzlement charges on Thursday, July 21, the office said.

Bank employees noticed in February that Sejdinvovic funneled fraudulent rebates from the credit union's general ledger into Juma's account, prosecutors said.

Juma wasn't working at the bank at this point. Sejdinvovic also raised the amount of money Juma could withdraw from the ATM at one time.

Officials said this scheme went on for six months and withdrawals happened nearly every day. Both women are being held on a $1,000 bond, the office reports.
