$150,000 missing: Digicel manager arrested

Around 5 pm on Wednesday, officers led by Sgt Christopher Dino Fuentes and including Cpl Ashook Mootilal and WPCs Jackson and Dominic went to the Digicel outlet and detained the female manager who has been working there for the past three years.

The woman was taken to the Sangre Grande CID where she remained in custody up to late yesterday.

Newsday understands Amalgamated security took a bag containing cash with a receipt for $150,000 to deposit in a bank on behalf of the Digicel branch.

However, when the money was checked it did not amount to what was stated on the receipt, and the Digicel managing director was contacted.

This led to a police report being made to the Sangre Grande CID.

Up to late yesterday the suspect was still being quizzed by officers who are expected to approach the Director of Public Prosecutions for directions in the matter.
