A woman is expected to appear before the High Court on March 9th to answer to a charge stemming from an online vehicle sale.
On September 2nd 2024, a man responded to an online ad for the sale of a white Nissan Wingroad valued at $50,000.
The victim said he deposited a down-payment of $6,000 into a local bank account, however he never received the vehicle and attempts to recover his money were also unsuccessful.
On March 3rd 2026, officers of the Fraud Squad executed a search warrant at a residence in Sangre Grande, where they arrested Chinara Collingwood.
She was formally charged with Larceny of the sum of $6,000 and has since been granted $30,000 bail.
The TTPS is reminding persons to exercise caution when conducting online transactions and to verify the legitimacy of sellers before making advance payments.
