THOUSAND OAKS : Man Arrested in Embezzlement Case
A Reseda man accused of bilking a Thousand Oaks company out of $131,000 during the two years he kept the company’s books was arrested at his home Tuesday, authorities said.
Nooshin Zahab, 42, made out 31 checks to himself when he was the controller of Advance Benefits Corp., said Sheriff’s Detective Robert LeMay.
An audit of Zahab’s checking account showed that the former controller had personally benefited from the bogus checks, LeMay said.
Zahab also is under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for possibly filing false income tax statements during the two-year period, LeMay said.
