THE police are reminding the public that the use of fraudulent documents to secure employment is a grave offence, and the temptation to do so must be resisted.

The advice came after a woman was granted $80,000 bail with surety by the High Court, on a charge of uttering a forged document in an attempt to secure employment as a member of the police service.

A release from the police service on November 28 said Aveyola Castillo-Clairmont appeared before Master Adia Mohammed on November 27, after she was charged. Castillo-Clairmont was granted bail and will return to court on December 18 for a status hearing.
