A 31-year-old businessman is expected to appear at the San Fernando Magistrates’ Court today, 31st March, charged with the offence of Fraudulent Conversion in the sum of $64,000.
Stefon Rabindrunath of Barrackpore, was arrested on Wednesday March 29th and charged on March 30th with the offence.
According to police reports, a man allegedly paid the sum of $64,000 to the accused as a down payment towards the purchase and
subsequent delivery of a silver Honda Vezel vehicle. The accused promised the man the delivery of the vehicle within six to eight weeks.
However, the man never received the vehicle, and all attempts to obtain a refund proved futile.
The matter was reported to the Fraud Squad and PC Williams conducted an investigation. During the investigation, an exercise was conducted by officers of the Southern Division Fraud Squad and a warrant was executed at the home of a suspect, who was later arrested then charged.
Investigations were supervised by ASP Arnold Lutchman and supervised by Inspector Seepersad, Sergeant Lodhar and assisted by Corporal Ramdial and PC Ali
