Two men will be presented at the Labasa Magistrates Court today, charged with obtaining financial advantage by deception in two separate incidents.
In the first case, a 24-year-old man is accused of obtaining $957 from a victim’s account on October 10, 2022. The victim discovered the unauthorized transaction when he noticed the money was transferred to an unfamiliar number. The accused allegedly withdrew and used the funds on the same day. The victim filed a complaint at the Labasa Police Station.
The second case involves another 24-year-old man from Bulileka who allegedly obtained $389 dishonestly by transferring the amount without the victim’s knowledge. This incident was reported at the Valelevu Police Station.
