Con woman charged

Police have arrested the woman who allegedly collected more than $50,000 from 15 people in Valelevu in April.

She has been charged with obtaining financial advantage by deception.

Police say the woman was arrested in Labasa last week.

Six complaints had been lodged against her at two separate police stations in the central division.

This woman had allegedly said that her husband owned a shopping mall in New York and California and that under her arrangements they would not require a visa to go to America.

Eight out of the 15 people who were misled by the woman, had recently retired.
