San Jose police investigators responded to the report of suspected embezzlement at a local casino on May 23. Detectives learned that between May 1 and May 22, a woman employed at the business, identified as 38-year-old Ellen Mangundayao, was embezzling gaming chips, SJPD said.
According to authorities, the employee would give stolen chips to her husband, identified as 41-year-old Mark Mangundayao, for him to cash out.
Following an investigation by the SJPD Division of Gaming Control and Financial Crimes Unit, police determined that Ellen and Mark Mangundayao “conspired in the embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years.”
Detectives who arrested Ellen Mangundayao said she was carrying approximately $4,750 worth of casino chips. Search warrants at the spouses’ two residences uncovered more than $75,000 in cash and around $10,000 worth of additional casino chips, according to police.
The Mangundayaos were booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail for felony embezzlement and conspiracy.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact Detective Corini at 5029@sanjoseca.gov or 408-277-4654.
