Teacher charged with fraud
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Detectives assigned to the Fraud Squad yesterday arrested and charged a teacher for a breach of the Consumer Protection Act.
Reports are that sometime in 2015 a client gave the accused teacher J$1.5 million to import a motor car on his behalf.
The teacher imported a motor vehicle which did not meet the requested standards. As a result, the client returned the motor vehicle with the agreement that the vehicle be sold and he, the client be refunded. It was subsequently revealed that the accused sold the motor vehicle but failed to refund the client who made several attempts to recover his money without success.
A report was then made to the Fraud Squad in March 2016.
The accused teacher was granted bail in the Corporate Area Resident’s Magistrate Court yesterday and is to reappear before the court on Friday, March 18.
