A Batavia, Illinois, woman is accused of stealing more than $1.5 million from two former employers dating back to 2016. 

The DuPage County State's Attorney said Tammy Dunagan, 60, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of theft exceeding $1 million dollars and one count of theft exceeding $500,000.

According to the indictment, Dunagan is accused of stealing more than $1 million through "a series of related acts in furtherance of a single intention and design " between March 24, 2016, and June 14, 2022. 

The DuPage County State's Attorney said the employees worked for Swallow Construction Corporation when she stole more than $500,000 between December 16, 2021, and July 5, 2024.
