Two men, an ex-employee of the National Commercial Bank and a senior citizen, will return to the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court on September 24 to answer to fraud charges.

Nicholas Davis, who worked as a teller at NCB Portmore branch, and senior citizen Winifred Hibbert appeared before RM Nicole Simmonds and their bails were extended.

Their appearance in court arose from an incident in October 2006 when Hibbert is said to have gone to the Portmore NCB branch and made withdrawals of more than $200,000, while presenting a fictitious passport.

An observant worker found that something was amiss, took it to a supervisor, and the police were called in and it was borne out that Davis was a part of the conspiracy.

Hibbert was charged with obtaining money by means of uttering false documents and Davis with conspiracy to defraud. Both men have maintained their innocence during their many appearances in court.
