A Roslindale woman, her boyfriend and five other men have been indicted for embezzling more than $200,000 from a Hopkinton aerospace company.
Kim Thomas, 42, is facing 46 criminal counts after she was accused of stealing more than $211,000 from Barry Controls while she worked there from midsummer 2004 to December 2006, according to the attorney general’s office.
Also charged in the scheme were her boyfriend, Paul Harvey, 57, of Roslindale; his brother Frederick Harvey, 50, of Dorchester; Eugene Van Buren, 39, of Framingham; Nicholas Petta, 40, of Walpole; Charles Powell, 46, of Dorchester and John Johnson, 45, of Roxbury.
Barry Controls designs and manufactures shock and vibration isolation systems for aerospace, defense and industrial markets.
Thomas worked as the accounts payable coordinator for the company, and she was responsible for entering invoices into the company’s accounting system and for printing checks for the company’s vendors, according to the attorney general’s office.
The company discovered money missing and the attorney general’s office began an investigation. Investigators found that Thomas issued 59 checks to the six men.
She allegedly would change the names on checks that were headed to vendors, but when the checks were cashed, she would enter the vendors’ names into the computer to try to show the checks were legitimately cashed.
