Police are warning traders to be vigilant in dealing with unregistered persons wanting to trade with large sums of money after a Director of a vehicle spare parts company discovered a cheque close to $90,000 to be dishonoured earlier this month.
The victim received a cheque from a woman in her late 30s who wanted to buy vehicle parts.
Police say the woman used a cheque worth more than $89,000 for the parts but was later discovered to be dishonoured when deposited.
A team of officers in the Southern Division were tasked with the investigations whereby they have arrested the woman and her husband who are now being questioned at the Valelevu Police Station.
Investigators also made recoveries from a vacant house in Nadi yesterday.
Investigations continue.
