Used car dealers return to court Dec 9
THE former Carmax director and three used car dealers implicated in the multimillion dollar fraud are scheduled to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on December 9.
The Carmax executive, Darren Blake, and his co accused — Dwight Tyndale, Peter Blake and Barrington Biggs — had their bail extended last Friday when they appeared in court after the matter was rescheduled for mention to facilitate full disclosure to the defense.
Blake was arrested in March with 88 counts of fraudulent conversion after it was alleged that, between December 2014 and last month, several persons entrusted him with their vehicles to sell but have not received the vehicles or refunded money
Tyndale, Blake and Biggs were later charged with several counts of engaging in cash transactions above the prescribed limit of J$1,000,000.
The court heard that there are 88 complainants in the matter and the fraud is said to be over $200 million.
Meanwhile, Richard Foreman, operator of Mother’s Enterprise, who was arrested for creating public mischief in June in relation to the Carmax matter also had his bail extended for him to return to court on the same day in December.
Foreman reportedly went to the police and reported that his car was stolen after he sold his 2008 Honda motorcar to Carmax and did not get his money after the car company reportedly sold the car to Peter Blake.
