A Bayshore man has been criminally charged with stealing more than $61,000 from a local appliance repair company for which he managed financial affairs, authorities said.
Eduardo “Edward” Murillo, 46, of Keyport, has been charged with theft by unlawful possession and identity theft, according to Monmouth County District Attorney Raymond S. Santiago.
Murillo pretended to be very experienced in accounting and began to take care of the personal and financial affairs of the victim and his Matawan-based company, Santiago said.
Analysis of financial records revealed that on various dates between 2017 and 2019, Murillo stole more than $61,000 from the company and spent the proceeds on personal expenses and sports betting, Santiago said.
Murillo surrendered to authorities Thursday, March 23 without incident and was formally charged and released pending trial on May 2.
Anyone with additional information regarding Murillo’s activities is urged to contact MCPO Detective Michael W. Donovan III at 800-533-7443.
