A bank teller in Upper Darby, Pa., is accused of going on a spending spree with customers' money.

Police say in just two weeks she took tens of thousands of dollars and showed no signs of stopping.

She's accused of withdrawing massive chunks from customers' accounts.

Sarah Simms, 22, of Philadelphia, was arraigned over the weekend and jailed in lieu of posting $250,000 cash bail.

Simms worked at the Citizens Bank on Lansdowne Avenue in Upper Darby, Pa.

In a statement, Citizens Bank said it was working with authorities on the investigation.

"We continue to cooperate with law enforcement and also are working with our customers to make them whole. Sarah Simms is no longer with the bank," the bank said.
