Suffolk County police arrested Sally Torres, the former president of a Harborfields Central School District parent volunteer group, on Thursday morning.

Second Squad detectives alleged that the 42-year-old woman stole the money between Jan. 1, 2007 and July 31, 2012 while she held various positions with the group.

Torres was charged with grand larceny. She will be arraigned Thursday at First District Court in Central Islip.
