Police in Rhode Island say a former employee at a jewelry store chain's headquarters has been charged with embezzlement for allegedly taking jewelry worth more than $200,000.
Yanill Taveras, of Providence, was charged Monday by Cranston police.
Online court records don't list an attorney who could comment on her behalf. A listed phone number for her couldn't be found.
Ross-Simons Jewelers contacted police in January after finding jewelry in an office where it was not supposed to be stored, and discovering 121 pieces worth $222,000 were missing.
