Bank teller in court for alleged theft of lottery man─── 06:00 Fri, 20 Mar 2020
A 29-year-old bank teller accused of stealing a substantial amount of money from a client's bank account was granted bail in the Swartruggens Magistrate's Court, North West police said on Thursday.
Spokesperson Colonel Adele Myburgh said Nonhlanhla Phillona Matinyane appeared in court on Wednesday.
She was granted R1500 bail and the case against her was postponed to April 8.
She was arrested on March 9 after investigations revealed that she allegedly stole money from a client, who previously won an undisclosed amount of money in the national lottery.
"The client, aged 46, was alerted by her financial advisor that withdrawals with substantial amounts of money were made from her account. Thus, the alleged theft was reported to the bank and the police. Following an investigation into the matter, the suspect was arrested for theft," Myburgh said.
