Woman in custody after fleecing church members of ‘Penny Bank’

Dec 13, 2012 News

A woman was taken into police custody yesterday after fleecing members of a church in Mahaica, East Coast Demerara. The perpetrator was taken into police custody after reports were made that the annual ‘penny bank’ was lost after it was withdrawn from the bank.
“Hundreds of church members bank their money and record it in a booklet every time they give the woman money. This is sickening. In the second week of December people normally collect their money for the Christmas, and now she say that when she draw it from the bank she lost it. She tell somebody else that she get rob,” one church member said.
The police were then summoned by irate church members to investigate. One woman who attends the church said the situation is very disappointing, since the woman acted on behalf of the Church and lots of trust was place in her to keep contributions to the ‘penny bank’ intact.
Several church members gathered at the Mahaica Police Station to give statements after venting their frustration about the issue.
