Two former croupiers at the Atlantis resort accused of devising a scheme that cheated their coworkers out of almost $600,000 have been charged.

The women pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing by reason of employment, falsification of accounts, conspiracy to commit stealing by reason of employment, conspiracy to commit falsification of accounts and money laundering at their arraignment yesterday.

Magistrate Kendra Kelly set bail at $200,000 each with conditions. Martin must sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station on Mondays before 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, Farquharson, who now lives in Freeport, Grand Bahama, has to report to the Lucaya Police Station on Mondays before 6 p.m.
