Anita Sanchez-Serda, 55, of Perrysburg allegedly stole more than $1,600 worth of gift cards from the agency where she was employed and used them for personal purchases.

Ms. Sanchez-Serda, who was charged with the offense in February by Sylvania Township police, was fired after being confronted about the missing gift cards and admitting she had taken them because she was having personal financial difficulties.
