A couple engaged to be married were also allegedly engaged in a $374,000 fraudulent check scheme while they worked at two Wisconsin credit unions to support their mutual drug habit.

Anna Chaberek, 32, of Waukesha, Wis., a former accounting specialist at the $26.8 million Enterprise Credit Union in Brookfield, Wis., and Anthony N.

Chaberek and Tourtillott were allegedly responsible for 328 fraudulent checks that were deposited into six different bank accounts for a loss of $300,230 and 429 unauthorized ACH transactions deposited into three different bank accounts for a loss of $74,229, according to a six-page criminal complaint that detailed how the duo pulled off the scheme between the two credit unions.
