Case of $1M theft from security firm, adjourned

(CNS): Patti Jane Ebanks (49), who is accused of stealing almost $1 million from a local security company, will return to court at the end of this month to answer the charges against her. Although Ebanks was expected to formally respond on Friday, her case was adjourned, the court heard, because of delays in disclosure and legal discussions. Her attorney said he expected she would be able to respond to the allegations that she stole $936,048.90 over a three year period from the Security Centre Limited on 31 October. Ebanks is also charged with money laundering, forgery and making documents without authority. She was bailed until her next appearance.
