BAR HARBOR — Bar Harbor police have arrested a restaurant owner accused of stealing more than $52,000 by writing fraudulent checks.
Authorities say 41-year-old Jennifer Lozano was arrested on charges of theft by deception and negotiating a worthless instrument.
Lozano is the owner of the Parkside Restaurant and the Best of Bar Harbor store.
Police say Lozano stole the funds late last month by writing several bad checks for several thousand dollars each with one bank account, depositing them in a checking account at a second bank, and then quickly withdrawing the unsupported funds from the second bank.
She has been released on $25,000 cash bail.
Police tell the Bangor Daily News the missing money has not been recovered.
