A 48-YEAR-OLD woman from Sangre Grande has been charged with three counts of larceny.
Linday Ann Julien Allan was arrested and charged last week.
She was granted bail in the sum of $250,000 with a surety, by Justice of the Peace Ibrahim Ali and is expected to reappear in court on April 4, a release from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) on Monday stated.
According to police reports, during the period May 10, 2022 and July 28, 2022, the accused allegedly received the sums of $88,000, $79,000 and $50,000 cash from victims, which represented full payments towards the purchase and delivery of several motor vehicles from a credit union.
The suspect allegedly led the victims to believe that she was in a position to obtain repossessed motor vehicles from a credit union and deliver it to them.
It was later discovered that the suspect was never in a position to do so and efforts made by the victims to obtain a refund of their monies from the accused proved futile.
The matter was reported to the Fraud Squad and investigations were conducted, which led to Allan’s arrest. Investigations were conducted by Ag. Corporal Dubois, with supervision by Senior Superintendent Arlet Groome, Superintendent Reuben, ASP Lutchman, Inspector David, and Sergeants Bassarath and Kissoon.
