A woman who was mistakenly given another woman’s debit card because they share the same name was fined $1,000 after admitting she took $12,950 from her CIBC account.
Tracey Margaret Rolle, 48, pleaded guilty to stealing before Senior Magistrate Kendra Kelly-Burrows yesterday. She took the money from Tracey Rolle-Black’s account between December 6 and December 31, 2024.
Rolle told the court the bank had issued her the card by mistake. She said she realised the money in the account was not hers but spent it anyway. She expressed remorse.
She must pay the $1,000 fine in full before she is released, or face a year in prison. She must also repay Ms Rolle-Black in full, at $500 a month until the debt is cleared.
Inspector Vernon Pyfrom prosecuted.
