Fake credit cards used in bank fraud

A WESTPAC employee is accused of creating fake credit cards to fleece the company of more than $110,000.
 Police from The Rocks Local Area Command were contacted by the bank's internal investigators on Friday morning in relation to fraud involving one of their employees.

The same morning, officers arrested a 25-year-old man outside his workplace at the corner of Market Street and Clarence Street in Sydney's CBD.

It will be alleged the man created nine fake credit card accounts and used them to withdraw a total of $113,930 from several ATMs over the past year.

He has been charged with nine counts of fraud and one count of knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

The man is out on conditional bail and due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on December 4.
