Ivan Hurst Charged with Bank Fraud Totalling Over $13,000
A 37-year-old resident of All Saints Village is facing fraud charges after allegedly accessing victims’ banking information to make unauthorized withdrawals totalling more than $13,000.
Ivan Hurst was arrested and charged in connection with three separate incidents involving two victims’ bank accounts at the same financial institution.
Police reports indicate the first incident occurred in early June when Hurst allegedly used one victim’s banking details to fraudulently obtain $12,000. Additional charges stem from alleged unauthorized transactions using another victim’s financial information – $1,200 withdrawn on June 25th and $250 on June 24th.
Hurst appeared before Magistrate Andrew Mighty yesterday where he was granted bail set at $5,000 with a required cash deposit of $1,500.
As conditions of his bail, Hurst must surrender his travel documents and secure two Antiguan sureties. He is also required to report to police twice weekly and attend all scheduled court appearances.
The case has been adjourned until September 16, 2025, when Hurst will return to court to face the fraud charges.

Hearing about a charge of bank fraud, especially involving a sum over $13,000, is very worrying. It’s a stark reminder that even with all the technology banks use, our accounts are still vulnerable. I hope this investigation reveals how the alleged crime was committed and that the bank will take steps to close any loopholes. We, as customers, must also remain vigilant and protect our personal and financial information
