A 53-YEAR-OLD woman accused of fraud was charged in Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Pamela Farrington faced Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis yesterday on eight counts each of possession of a forged document, uttering a forged document, fraud by false pretences and money laundering (possession) for a combined total of 32 charges.

Police allege that Farrington had in her possession several forged Bank of the Bahamas (BOB) external payment request forms, uttered the same and fraudulently obtained over $50,000 from Cays News and Gifts, Parma Pizzeria and LPIA Rhythm Café’s BOB accounts between May and August of this year.

The accused, who was represented by attorney Keevon Maynard, pleaded not guilty to the fraud related offences.

She was subsequently granted $15,000 bail with two sureties and the case was adjourned to December 20 and 21 for trial.
