A runaway Bosnian bank teller has been arrested after a tip-off by her husband and faces charges of stealing 1.1 million euros ($1.68 million) from bank depositors, police said.

Sanja Meseledzija-Gvozdjar, 33, left on vacation from her job at Raiffeisen Bank in the Bosnian Serb capital last September and never came back. She was arrested this week in Belgrade, said criminal police chief Gojko Vasic.

She is suspected of embezzling funds from the bank's term deposit accounts from December 2006 to September 2007. Her husband revealed her Belgrade hideout to the police and has reportedly filed for divorce and changed his name.
