An employee of a Columbus, Georgia, credit union stole over $800,000 from his job by depositing counterfeit checks, opening fraudulent vehicle loans, and funneling money to himself and others, according to police.

The Columbus Police Department said Steven Verrett used legitimate customers at his desk at Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) as a cover while he committed the crimes in February of 2024.

Five of the checks he processed were stolen from the U.S. mail.
