Sheppie woman faces fraud charges

She was employed at a cash transit company.

A FORMER employee of a cash transit company is facing fraud charges after allegedly transferring some R800 000 into a family member’s bank account over a period of about a year.

The Port Shepstone woman (23) fled town after the crime came to light, but was soon arrested by the Organised Crime Unit in Gauteng, together with a 24-year-old relative.

The pair are now facing fraud charges, police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid confirmed.

Both appeared in Port Shepstone Court last week and were released on R2 000 bail.

The case was postponed to July 21.

Detective Warrant Officer Heidi van der Merwe is the investigating officer.
