A FORMER employee of CIBC FirstCaribbean was granted bail in Magistrate’s Court yesterday after being accused of stealing $3,700 from a client’s bank account.
Cameal Bowleg, 51, faced Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on two counts of stealing by reason of employment and money laundering.
On October 5, 2021, Bowleg while employed at FirstCaribbean, is alleged to have transferred $1,500 and $1,200 out of Hubert Brown’s bank account. These funds were then reportedly placed in separate bank accounts in Commonwealth Bank and Royal Bank of Canada respectively.
In court the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges.
As prosecutor Inspector Lincoln McKenzie made no objection to bail, $7,000 bail with one surety was granted. Bowleg’s trial is scheduled for December 8.
