A trio of Mexicans who are on remand at the Hattieville prison, will face more charges.
They are Leonel Isaac Rodriguez, Joscan Jafet Hernandez, and Belen Hernandez - and they were all arraigned last week for a single charge of theft. The trio is accused of ripping off the Atlantic Bank - with bogus bank and credit cards. They alleged withdrew a hundred thousand dollars form Atlantic bank branches throughout the country.
But - it turns out - that hundred grand - is just the starter figure. Police told us there's more:...
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Over the weekend we have received additional information from the Atlantic Bank, so at this moment police is preparing additional charges to be levied on them. It will be sometime during this week that we will get a new order and they will be brought again to answer to several other counts of thefts that will be given to them."
Reporter
"Has any other bank come forward?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"No, it's only Atlantic Bank."
Reporter
"Do you all know any reason why they choose specifically Atlantic Bank?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"I cannot tell you that. I know that during the past years it was several banks that were touched. We had the Belize Bank, Atlantic Bank and we had the First Caribbean Bank."
Reporter
"And the quantum of $95,000 that you had said last week?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"According to the bank it's as they go and review more the cameras and their audit, the figure keeps increasing. Right now it's over a hundred thousand dollars."
We'll be there when they next appear in court.
