Urgent Warning from the Police Regarding Electronic Fraud

Police have arrested three people in connection with an ongoing investigation into a series of alleged fraudulent transactions uncovered at a local bank in Antigua and Barbuda.

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) confirmed that the incidents were reported on separate occasions between May 12 and May 18, after suspicious and unauthorized transactions were detected at multiple branches of the financial institution.

Investigators said the reports prompted a series of inquiries, which led officers to several locations where information believed to be linked to the alleged fraud scheme was obtained.

As a result of those investigations, three suspects were taken into custody on suspicion of fraud-related offences. Police have not yet disclosed the identities of the individuals or revealed the amount of money allegedly involved.

The suspects remain in police custody while investigations continue.

Authorities are urging anyone with information that may assist the investigation to contact the Criminal Investigations Department or the nearest police station.
