AN ACKLINS man who denied defrauding a local bank of nearly $10,000 was yesterday granted bail ahead of his trial.

Vans Johnson, 53, was accused of unlawfully obtaining $9,700 from CIBC First Caribbean International Bank on January 8.

He pleaded not guilty to one count of fraud by false pretences and the matter was adjourned to August 23 for trial.

Yesterday, Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt granted Johnson $5,000 bail until that time.
