A Freeport businesswoman has been granted $750,000 bail for extortion and robbery.

Sabrina Kalleecharran was charged with five counts of demanding money with menaces and one count of robbery when she appeared before Master Ambrose Persad-Singh at the Chaguanas Masters’ Court yesterday.

She was not called upon to plead and a Sufficiency Hearing date has been set for September 23rd 2025.

Several members of the Freeport business community reported via the Anti-Extortion Unit Hotline that they were being extorted and threatened with violence.

The TTPS says an investigation later uncovered a significant extortion ring, where a female business-owner was allegedly coordinating with a high-risk inmate at the Port of Spain prison, to supply personal details about the victims being extorted.
