ROCKLAND, Maine DEC. 21, 2007 — A Union woman has been charged with embezzling $19,000 from Wal-Mart, according to Rockland police.Becky Chavanne, 57, was charged with felony theft Wednesday after a lengthy joint investigation by the Police Department's detective bureau and Wal-Mart loss prevention agents, Deputy Police Chief Wallace Tower said Thursday.Noting that the investigation is still under way, Tower declined to say what position Chavanne held at the store or when the alleged embezzlement took place. He said that to date, Detective Russell Thompson and the store had found that at least $19,000 had been taken."It's still an open investigation," Tower said. It's possible that the amount of money that Chavanne took will actually be more and others might have been involved. Right now we are still investigating this.
