Hanover Co-op Credit Union says its NCB account compromised

The Hanover Co-operative Credit Union has sought to clear the air on a story regarding the multi-million dollar electronic scam which has been targeting some of the island's financial institutions.
   
The credit union says the illegal withdrawals involving the institution were from its current account held at the National Commercial Bank (NCB).
   
No accounts held at the Hanover Co-operative Credit have been affected.
   
Earlier RJR News reported that a seventh suspect was held in connection with the scam. She is 22 year old Annecia Tyrell of Oracabessa, St. Mary.
   
Miss Tyrell was remanded when she appeared before the St. Andrew Parish Court on Thursday.
   
The accused was held on September 8 after she allegedly withdrew $400,000 from a financial institution.
   
It is believed that she was planning to transfer the funds overseas.
   
The alleged mastermind behind the electronic scam, 23 year old Andre Beckford, was remanded until October 14 when he appeared before the St. Andrew Parish Court on Thursday.
