Cashier charged with swiping millions

A cashier who is facing larceny charges was offered bail when she appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court yesterday.

Jhaniele King, who was employed at a local distribution and logistics company, is charged with two counts of unauthorised access to computer or data and larceny as a servant. It is alleged that she swindled $3.2 million from customers.

The allegations are that between March 17 and May 2, King collected money from customers who purchased goods from the company and pocketed it. It is further alleged that King then gained access to customers' credit card information and paid for the same goods they purchased. In granting bail, Judge Dennis-McPherson ordered conditions to be attached.

King, 27, must report to the police twice weekly and surrender her travel documents. A stop order was imposed, and she was made the subject of a fingerprint order. The matter is set for mention on October 7.
