TWO IN CUSTODY FOR ALLEGED FRAUD

A woman in her 40s will be produced at the Nasinu Magistrates Court today charged with allegedly producing a dishonoured cheque worth close to $90,000.

The accused has been charged with one count of causing a loss.

She allegedly produced a cheque to buy vehicle parts from the Director of a spare parts company which was later discovered to be dishonoured when it was presented at the bank.

Some of the parts were recovered by the Southern Division Taskforce in a vacant house in Nadi.

The second person brought in for his alleged involvement has been questioned and released.

Meanwhile investigators are searching for two men which allegedly threatened and assaulted an 85year old businessman last Friday.

The incident occurred in Vatuwaqa.

The two allegedly forcefully entered the top floor of the company building where the victim was staying before ransacking the office and stealing cash.

Investigations continue.
