Deception: Over a 14 day period, the victim withdrew large amounts of cash from her bank and gave them to a person who contacted her purporting to be from her bank. She handed over an amount of $58,000. The person said they were investigating employee theft. Cohuna police were contacted by a concerned business operator in town who thought things didn’t seem right. Police intercepted the persons of interest in Margaret Street Cohuna. Unfortunately the victim had already given them the cash. This investigation is ongoing.
