CONCORD — A former assistant vice president and manager at a Portsmouth bank has been indicted on charges of taking more than $97,000 from a customer.

Britt K. Landsperger, 46, of Stratham was indicted on seven theft charges in Rockingham County Superior Court. The former assistant vice president and manager at TD Bank on Lafayette Road in Portsmouth is accused of having unauthorized control over money from seven TD Bank accounts belonging to the 68-year-old customer with a brain injury, identified as “C.M.,” between 2013 and 2018, according to a release from the Attorney General’s office

Landsperger is accused of using the money to pay rent, go shopping, eat out, get manicures, throw a graduation party for a relative and take family summer vacations, according to prosecutors.

Portsmouth police and the state’s Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services were notified about the thefts after a bank employee reported them in May of 2018. The customer, a 68-year-old former teacher, relied on employees to assist her with financial matters because she could not balance her own checkbooks.

1. This is why we all need to step up and protect our elderly and disabled...unfortunately there ...

are people who do stuff like this ex-AVP at TD bank...thank goodness that another TD bank employee reported the ex-AVP official to state officials. Disgusting in taking advantage of this disabled teacher, I only hope that someone steps in to help this teacher on a permanent basis and verifies that all is well, that various financial transactions etc. are performed faultlessly by various entities as needed (family members, fellow retired teachers, etc.).

2. NH has a disturbing, and long, history of this nastiness

Scandals, large and small, back to colonial times - all to do with breach of trust, and those who should be most trustworthy.
