Police receives report on the circulation of forged cheques in the Western Division

Police have confirmed that they have received a report on the circulation of forged cheques in the Western Division.

It is alleged that the forged cheques were received by an electrical company in Lautoka from a customer who allegedly acted on behalf of an existing client.

Fijivillage has been told that following the first purchase of electrical items valued at around $5,000, the client had returned on Monday with another cheque to purchase more electrical items which were valued at more than $60,000.

The company was alerted about the fraud earlier this week and they have contacted Police.
