Two men and a woman who are charged with alleged theft of more than $1 million between 2017 and 2022, will appear in the Lautoka Magistrates Court today.
Two of the accused stole more than $1 million between January 2017 to March 2022, while employed as an accounts clerk and as an IT officer at a wholesale and distributing company.
Police say during this period, it is alleged that the first accused stole money and deposited it in a business account belonging to the third accused, who is married to the second accused.
It is alleged that when the money was deposited into the third accused account, her husband, the second accused, would then transfer the money to his personal account.
Police say an audit of the Lautoka branch sales records in 2022 picked up the alleged discrepancies whereby a report was lodged.
All three individuals are charged with six counts of theft.
