In April the financial security group of an Australian bank began an investigation after 23 illegal withdrawals were allegedly made from an account between February 11 and March 12.

Police were alerted to the suspected illegal bank transfers and began an investigation.

Following inquiries by Broken Hill detectives, a warrant was issued for the arrest of a woman, believed to have moved from NSW to Victoria.

About 4pm on Wednesday, Victoria police arrested a 33-year-old woman at a home on Wentworth Road, Yelta, near Mildura on the NSW/ Victoria border.

The woman appeared in Mildura Magistrates Court on Thursday where NSW police sought her extradition, which was granted.

She was conveyed to Dareton Police Station where the NSW arrest warrant was executed, and the woman was charged with 25 counts of deal with identity information to commit indictable offence and 22 counts of dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception.

The woman was refused bail and appeared in Wentworth Local Court on Thursday where she was granted conditional bail to reappear in Broken Hill Local Court on February 9 2021.

Police will allege the woman was employed as a teller at a bank branch in Broken Hill from 2018 where the transactions have originated.

Inquiries into the matter continue.
