HONOLULU – An elderly employee for an armored car company is accused of grabbing handfuls of cash for himself from Hickam FCU ATMs he was in charge of filling with money.

Sixty-eight-year-old Steven Dagli was charged in a federal grand jury indictment with stealing more than $73,000 from four credit union ATMs over a three-year period.

His former employer, Security Armored, has paid back the credit union for the money allegedly stolen.
