A WOMAN was granted $50,000 bail yesterday after she allegedly stole $90,000 from a man’s bank account over a period of nine months last year.
Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Omesha Smith, 26, with eight counts of stealing by reason of employment, eight counts of money laundering (acquisition), 18 counts of forgery and 18 counts of falsification of accounts.
Smith is accused of stealing $90,950 from Garth King’s CIBC account by forging withdrawal slips and falsifying the bank’s computer systems while employed there between July 18, 2022, and April 17, 2023.
After pleading not guilty to all 52 charges, Ms Smith was told that under the terms of her bail she must sign in at her local police station on the last Friday of every month. She must also wear a monitoring device.
The defendant’s trial begins on August 6.
Ian Cargill represented the accused.
