Alleged Fraudster to Face Court Over $288,000 Dollar Deception

BY MADELAINE MCNEILL

A Woodberry woman will face court next month accused of defrauding a local business of more than $250,000 dollars.

Investigations began in March into alleged fraudulent transactions at a Thornton business between June 2012 and May 2018.

It's alleged the 45-year-old transferred a $288,812 dollars from the business account to a number of personal bank accounts.

The woman was arrested at Raymond Terrace Police Station on Thursday and has been charged with 25 counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception.

The alleged fraudster has been granted strict conditional bail to face Maitland Local Court on Friday, October 11.
