Detectives on the state’s mid north coast have charged a former Forster bank manager after she allegedly stole $665,000 from customers’ accounts.

A 45-year-old Hallidays Point woman attended Taree Police Station about 4pm yesterday (Tuesday 15 May 2012) and was charged with larceny as a clerk.

It will be alleged the woman, who managed a Forster bank branch between July 2007 and August 2011, stole money from customers’ term deposits – covering her tracks using false letters and documents.

Manning/Great Lakes Detectives conducted a complex investigation into the woman’s alleged fraudulent activities and were assisted by State Crime Command’s Fraud and Cybercrime Squad and the bank’s own investigators.

She will appear in Forster Local Court on Wednesday 27 June 2012.
