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.

This is the land of crime, the Capital of Antigua needs to change from St. John’s to Crime City. We always had a level of crime but in the last 11 or so years it has just exploded, and it ain’t gonna get any better. People at the bottom of the ladder mimic those at the top
So was he a bank teller or something? I’m confused as to how he managed to access their account
