A cashier of the Amansie Rural Bank has been arrested by the police over alleged theft of cash of GH?82,000.00, belonging to her employers.
Juliana Gyabeng was on Monday put before a Kumasi Circuit Court charged with stealing.
She pleaded not guilty and she was ordered to re-appear on September 02.
The court, presided over by Madam Lydia Osei Marfo, granted a GH¢100,000.00 bail with four sureties, two to be justified.
Police Chief Inspector Felix Akowuah said the accused is the cashier of the Manso-Adubea branch of the bank.
He said between July and August, last year, some customers reported to the management the falsification of their account records.
The bank acted swiftly on the complaints and uncovered through an internal audit that cash totaling GH?82,000.00 was stolen.
He said it was detected that deposit made by some customers and received by Juliana did not reflect in their accounts.
The prosecution said, after the discovery, the accused person vacated her post and went into hiding, from where she readily paid to the bank GH¢10,000.00 through her mother.
A formal report was made to the police and she was tracked to her hideout and arrested.
