Arion Jonathan Singh, 41, of the 1200 block of Huntington Pike, Huntingdon Valley, the former vice president of finance at the college, Sydney Elise Loveless, 39, of Chicago, identified in court documents as Singh’s romantic partner, and Amar D.

Steele said as he announced the arrests. “As soon as the theft was discovered, college administrators reported it to law enforcement and cooperated fully in the investigation.”…
