9/11 memorial worker charged with theft

A worker at the World Trade Centre memorial visitor centre has been charged with stealing more than $40,000 (€30,000) from its funds.

The thefts occurred between last August and February.

Police said security cameras were installed after an audit showed that cash register receipts were coming up short.

Emmanuel Reyes, 25, was scheduled to appear in a Manhattan court today.

The Tribute WTC Visitor Centre sells memorabilia to raise money for the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

The World Trade Centre was destroyed in terror attacks on September 11, 2001.
