RANGELEY — A local woman is accused of stealing more than $30,000 from a Rangeley business, Police Chief Richard Caton IV said Monday.
He arrested Brittany Moura, 38, of Rangeley on Friday on a charge of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer. A conviction on the charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $20,000.
The theft was reported in November and Caton launched an investigation.
The money appears to have been taken since May, he said.
Moura posted $1,000 cash bail Friday and was released from the Franklin County Detention Center in Farmington.
She is scheduled to appear at a Farmington court Feb. 4.
