A Kingston woman who is accused of cheating four persons out of $3.1 million, which she collected for cars that she failed to deliver, was further remanded into custody when she appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

The accused, Dionne Lindo — who is facing four counts of obtaining money by false pretence and four counts of fraudulent conversion — was remanded in custody due to the absence of her attorney, who had been seeking bail on her behalf.

According to allegations, between May and July, the accused told the complainants that she could import approximately eight motor vehicles on their behalf, at cheaper rates. Lindo was allegedly given the money totalling $3.145 million and later informed the complainants that she paid the same over to two custom brokers to have the vehicles cleared from the wharf.

However, when the vehicles — which included four Toyota Corollas, a BMW X-6, and a Suzuki Swift — were not forthcoming, the complainants demanded a refund of their money.

Lindo was arrested when she could produce neither the vehicles nor the money. She is scheduled to return to court on December 7.
