– but she doesn’t know it yet

A 39-YEAR-OLD woman appeared on Monday before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman for fraud.

The charge alleges that last Friday, while a clerk at the Royal Castle David Rose Street, South Ruimveldt branch, Yurette Persaud fraudulently obtained the sum of $2,200, property of the company.
Of course, she denied doing so, even though the facts state that on the day in question, she was working the 16:00h shift in the ‘Drive-thru’ section when the supervisor, while monitoring staff via the cameras, noticed that she made a sale and instead of putting the money in the cash register she allegedly put it in the waist of her pants.

When confronted by the supervisor and a search was carried out on her person, there was $2,200 neatly tucked away in Persaud’s pants waist. When asked about the money, the woman claimed that it was the tips she’d made for the day.

She was released on $20,000 bail, and the matter adjourned until tomorrow (Wednesday).
