BUFFALO, N.Y. — A former bank employee in the Town of Hamburg was sentenced on Tuesday for scamming elderly customers.

Breanna Rohauer, 37, of Forestville will serve 30 days in jail followed by five years of probation. 

Prosecutors say Rohauer stole a total of $124,736 by making unauthorized withdrawals from bank accounts of several elderly customers between November 17, 2017 and February 4, 2019.

All the victims were reimbursed by the bank.

Rohauer pleaded to all charges in the indictment against her in February of 2020. She was charged with six counts of grand larceny in the third degree (class “D” felonies) and one count of grand larceny in the fourth degree (a class “E” felony).

Rohauer was ordered to pay the full restitution amount of $124,736. She has yet to re-pay any of the money stolen, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
