A 37-year-old man from All Saints Village has been charged with defrauding two bank customers of more than $13,000.

Police allege Ivan Hurst accessed victims’ account details to make three unauthorised withdrawals from the same financial institution. The first, in early June, involved $12,000; the others, on 24 and 25 June, totalled $1,450.

Hurst appeared before Magistrate Andrew Mighty on Thursday and was granted bail of $5,000, with a $1,500 cash deposit. He must surrender his travel documents, provide two Antiguan sureties, report to police twice a week, and attend all court hearings.

The case is due to resume on 16 September.
