A 19-year-old bank teller who was attached to the Republic Bank Linden branch, and a 44-year-old teacher from West Ruimveldt have been charged for the alleged fraudulent withdrawal of money from the Linden Branch of Republic Bank.

The bank teller, Tyrell Davis and the teacher, Donna Edwards, were arrested earlier this week following an investigation.

According to the Police report, the teller reportedly facilitated the fraudulent withdrawal of money from an account by neglecting to follow the procedures of the bank.

The money was withdrawn and given to the teacher. The bank teller reportedly told investigators that he was contacted by a friend for some assistance in facilitating the fraudulent withdrawal, and was allegedly paid $300,000 for his role.

In Court today, both the teller and the teacher pleaded not guilty to the charges and were remanded to jail.

The case will come up again on the 4th December.
