Two men are set to appear in Labasa Magistrates Court today, each facing charges related to separate incidents of obtaining financial advantage by deception.
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 had been transferred to an unfamiliar number. The suspect allegedly withdrew and used the money on the same day. The victim subsequently reported the incident to the Labasa Police Station.
In the second case, another 24-year-old man from Bulileka is accused of dishonestly obtaining $389 from a victim by transferring the amount without the victim’s knowledge. This matter was later reported to the Valelevu Police Station.
