UPDATE - Mother of 2 allegedly stole $10K from ABM!
Alrelta Jeffers was slapped with six charges, of which three are forgery with intent to defraud - are indictable and will be heard in the High Court.
According to Senior Crown Counsel Valston Graham, Jeffers was employed at ABM Corporate Services as a Corporate Administrator up to December 23, 2011 following her termination. Part of her responsibilities, Graham explained, was to prepare cheques payable to other businesses.
“These cheques were usually allegedly signed by Mark Dubois. It is not common for Mr. Dubois to sign cheque leaves and allow Jeffers to put in the relevant information,” he told the court.
Sometime between December 20 and 21, 2011, Dubois allegedly signed a cheque to be paid to a company for seals, and according to the Crown the company cheque book revealed that the stub for that cheque “was void”.
“However, the cheque leaf was missing from the book. Sometime in February 2012 the company received its bank statement and during the reconciliation process it was discovered over $4,000 could not be accounted for,” Senior Crown Counsel Graham stated.
ABM’s Accountant carried out enquires with First Caribbean Bank and received a copy of the cheque leaf corresponding with the void one in the company’s cheque book showing a cash withdrawal of $4,000.
Jeffers was allegedly implicated due to the fact that Dubois signature was at the back of the cheque, but he allegedly claimed that he did not endorse it. It is alleged that Jeffers driver’s license was used as a form of identification to conduct the financial transaction.
Further investigation indicated that the 27 year-old had allegedly committed similar acts in October and December 2011. Those cheques totalling $6,000 were cashed at First Caribbean and Scotia banks.
A report was made to the police and Jeffers was arrested and charged.
In light of this, Magistrate Richards offered her $80,000 bail with one signed surety, she has to surrender her travel documents and report to the Road Town Police station every Monday Wednesday and Friday between 6 am and 6 pm.
Jeffers is represented by Herbert Mc.Kenzie.
