CHANDLER, Ariz. (KSAZ) - A twist to your local bank robbery -- a Bank of America employee is accused of stealing money from customer accounts.

According to Chandler Police, 28-year-old Michael Callens was able to get into some customers' accounts and then transferred approximately $10,000 from their accounts to his own.

But Bank of America internal controls identified the suspicious transactions. The bank says all the money has been restored to the customers' accounts and no customers suffered any losses.

Bank of America contacted the Chandler Police Department and officers arrived at the facility where they confronted Callens and made the arrest.

Callens could face one count of theft, one count of fraudulent schemes and six counts of identity theft. He was booked into jail and later released.
