A Citigroup employee is accused of hacking into the accounts of almost a half-dozen customers.

Tremice Ralston is charged with misuse of computer information. Police say Ralston illegally obtained access to the credit card accounts of five customers. They say she would then raise the credit limit on the customers’ cards, order a new one and then have them sent to relatives.

This is the second time in just one week that a Louisville bank employee has been charged with stealing money from customers.

Last week, Patricia Jordan pleaded not guilty to embezzling more than 210-thousand dollars from customers of the national city bank on Breckenridge Lane.
