Police arrested two Chilean nationals who were attempting to leave the Cayman Islands after allegedly being involved with financial crimes causing losses of about $78,000.
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service formally charged a 32-year-old man with one count of theft and six counts of money laundering, and a 27-year-old woman with two counts of money laundering.
According to an RCIPS press release issued 13 May, the charges stem from a report made on 16 April.
Police received a report that a local bank had discovered four ATMS in various locations in George Town had been compromised. The release said someone copied and used multiple account details, with losses amounting to approximately $78,000.
“The bank in question has identified all apparent victims and the accounts have been re-secured,” the release said. “The ATMs have also been subjected to additional security measures.”
Officers arrested the two on 9 May at Owen Roberts International Airport.
