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.

  1. Well is about time they catch up with them. Just calling ppl and asking for code and hacking people account.

  2. Which bank. We need to know at least

  3. I saw 40k on my account. I only had around 35 dollars. When i checked my balance next day it was gone. Wonder what happened there

    • ECAB or ACB?
      They should name the bank.

  4. Banks in Antigua always in a fraud

  5. Oh boy.. sigh. Well I don’t have enough money for them to steal but remember innocent until proven guilty

  6. Actually, no bank is involved. When people give away their info, they can’t blame the banks.

    • How are we to assist if we don’t know who and which bank is affected? A few months ago I saw about 5 transactions at very strange times of day on my local bank account. All at 5 in the morning. I am not awake that early on any day so how did that happen ? Later when I checked nothing was there. What’s really going on?

  7. I hope they get arrested and shamed publicly
