Police have laid multiple charges against a man who allegedly defrauded a company out of $2 million.
An investigation commenced in 2025 after it was alleged an employee had misused a company’s internal systems to dishonestly obtain goods.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant James Kim, Waitematā North Area Investigations and Financial Crime Manager, says the large-scale fraud spanned from 2017 to 2025.
“The investigation involved extensive analysis of company records and evidential material.
“A 39-year-old Auckland man has since been charged with 11 counts of obtaining by deception.”
He is set to reappear at North Shore District Court on 15 October.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Kim says these charges are the culmination of nearly a year’s work by investigators.
“This offender caused significant financial loss to the organisation over several years, and Police have worked diligently to ensure he is held to account.
“Police acknowledge the assistance provided by the affected company throughout our investigation.”
As the case is now before the Court, Police are unable to comment further.
