Brothers Charged in $200,000 Bank Theft

Justin and Jenel Flounoury, two brothers from Brockton, were arraigned for allegedly stealing nearly $200,000 from Energy Credit Union, where Jenel worked as a teller. On September 24, Jenel reportedly handed over $197,146 to Justin, who had posed as a robber, after receiving a note demanding the cash. Bank officials raised suspicions about Jenel's actions, noting he bypassed standard robbery procedures, leading to a police investigation. Surveillance footage captured both brothers later burning items in their backyard, prompting police to execute a search warrant at their residence, where they discovered a significant amount of cash. They are currently held on $10,000 bail and are scheduled for a pretrial hearing on October 30. District Attorney Kevin Hayden emphasized the frequent unraveling of such schemes by employees attempting to steal from their workplaces.
