A Concord woman is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a recovery center on South State Street.
Angelina Sands, 32, was recently charged with a felony count of theft in connection with the incident. Sands, a receptionist at the time, is accused of stealing from Chrysalis Recovery Center at 112 S. State St. between April 2017 and September 2017, according to court documents.
Police allege in a sworn affidavit that Sands stole “a substantial amount of cash from both the business as well as its clients prior to her termination.” Following a careful review of financial records, detectives ultimately determined that Sands had stolen a total of $3,590, stemming from 14 different thefts, according to a sworn police affidavit.
The center said it reimbursed all of its affected clients.
Sands was tasked with taking payments from clients and had access to the center’s accounting system.
When interviewed by police in spring 2018, she initially denied having ever stolen from clients or manipulating financial records, the affidavit says. By phone, she agreed to a follow-up interview that September, but then told police she had hired a lawyer.
Sands is next scheduled to face a judge in Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord in mid-May.
