Woman remanded for $22M house fraud

Oct 09, 2010 News

Magistrate Priya Beharry yesterday remanded a woman who allegedly forged an identification card in order to sell a lavish property at Oleander Gardens, East Coast Demerara.
The woman, Marlene Croft, was not required to plead to two counts of fraud when she appeared yesterday.
The first charge stated that between August 28 and December 9, 2009, with the intent to defraud, she obtained from Richard Rambarran the sum of $22M, by falsely pretended that she was the transported owner of a property at Oleander Gardens using the name of Bibi Haniff.
A second charge stated that on August 28, 2009 with the intent to defraud the woman forged one agreement of sale between Bibi Haniff and Richard Rambarran for a property at Lot 61 Oleander Gardens, purporting to show that she was the said Bibi Haniff.
Police Prosecutor Lionel Harvey explained to the court that during the sale process several inquires were made when it was revealed that the identification card was a forgery.
Harvey said that the woman had already accepted the $22M and disappeared. He said that the police had been trying for the last six months to arrest the woman.The prosecutor told the court that if bail is granted there is a strong chance that she would flee the jurisdiction.
She was remanded and is expected to make her second court appearance on October 21.
