A WOMAN was granted bail yesterday after she was allegedly involved in an insurance fraud scheme where she attempted to steal over $9,000 in the last two months.

Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Marlissa Joseph, 24, with two counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by false pretences and attempted fraud by false pretences.

Joseph and her accomplices allegedly planned and attempted to defraud First Insurance Company Limited of $9,839.94 from a Bank of the Bahamas account on December 29, 2023.

Joseph also allegedly tried to defraud the insurance company of the same amount of cash on January 9.

After pleading not guilty to the charges, Joseph was granted bail at $9,500 with one or two sureties. She must sign in at the East Street South Police Station every Friday by 6pm.

She must appear before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on March 8 for the continuation of her case.
