According to him, the accused is responsible for assisting customers, who want to open new accounts and took advantage of his schedule and at different dates and time and stole the said amounts belonging to the customers.
He said a customer of the bank went to the bank to withdraw an amount of GH¢1,900 out of GH¢3,000, which she had lodged in her accounts and she became alarmed when she was told that there was no money in her savings account.
The customer subsequently reported the matter to the branch Manager.
The Police Chief Inspector added that the national service personnel upon sensing danger quickly sent GH¢1,900 to the customer, through her mobile money wallet after he did not report to work and contacted by the Manager.
He said the Manager then became suspicious and perused the value books handled by the accused and noticed the fraud which he later ordered for the arrest of Charles Elton Nana Amoah.
