Police in Virginia are searching for a credit union head teller who allegedly stole money from a safe and replaced it with play money.

Detectives for the Danville Police Department launched an investigation and secured an arrest warrant for Jorge Omar Navarro Jr., 27, of Danville. He has been charged with one felony count of embezzlement of $500 or more from the credit union.
