Is it common for bank tellers to steal money from their bank?
<|assistant|>
It is not common, but it does happen. According to some surveys, bank theft from tellers accounts for about 3.1% of overall bank theft losses. According to FBI studies, many bank tellers are motivated by financial difficulty or by simple greed and steal from their own bank. Other times, tellers may collude with an outside individual to perpetrate an theft scheme, or they may be pressured by an outside individual into stealing. Regardless, the theft of money from a bank is a serious crime, and tellers who are found guilty can face stiff punishments.
