Bookkeeper accused of embezzlement

SOUTH PORTLAND — A former bookkeeper at The Curtainshop has been charged in a scheme to embezzle $140,000 from the retailer over three years, police said.

A grand jury indictment accuses Amy J. MacLeod, 29, of removing cash from the money bags and then doctoring the deposit slips and the store’s books to cover her tracks.

The store’s owner said he uncovered the scheme in July, shortly after he fired MacLeod for reasons unrelated to the alleged theft. A police investigation confirmed his suspicions.
