12 Ex-Bank Employees Indicted: A dozen former employees of Southland banks and thrifts have been indicted as part of an effort by federal prosecutors to crack down on low-level bank pilfering. The 12 were charged with taking amounts ranging from $4,500 to $135,000 in cash, unauthorized checks and unauthorized account transfers, according to prosecutors. The indictments are part of a joint effort by FBI agents and the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute cases involving smaller amounts of money, prosecutors said. Indicted were: Maybelle Amparo Leon, Barbara Ann Berry, Ruth S. Smack, John Francis Medina, Deanna L. Price, Michael Wen Han Kwan, James Y. Kang, Raul Bernardo Robles, Peggy Jean Jenkins-Johnson, Robert Bennett, Sue Ann Knibbs and Steven McGuigan. All the suspects are to appear before a federal magistrate Oct. 2.
