A onetime employee of Milton Point Provisions, who was fired earlier this year, recently made thousands of dollars in unauthorized purchases through the business’ Amazon Prime account, police said.
Susan Marie Siciliano, 37, was arrested Tuesday. morning after Rye police concluded she had been making fraudulent purchases in excess of $4,300 through her former employer’s online Amazon account.
The owners first notified police on Oct. 29 after noticing unusual activity on their account during a month-long period. The purchases took place between Sept. 26 and Oct. 28, according to police.
A police probe was able to tie the purchases to Siciliano, of Mamaroneck, who allegedly used the account to buy gift cards, candy, clothes, and home and hygiene supplies.
She had been an employee of Milton Point Provisions, a cafe located at 615 Milton Road, before being fired in January. It is unclear why Siciliano was terminated.

In June, Milton Point Provisions celebrated its five-year anniversary in Rye.
