Truck driver on fraud charge

Oct 04, 2012 News

Imran Narine, a truck driver from Essequibo, appeared yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on a charge of fraudulent conversion. Narine yesterday faced Magistrate Priya Sewnarine -Beharry on an allegation that he converted six lengths of pipe worth $360,000 which were entrusted to him by Naseem Patoir into cash and then used the money for his own personal benefit. The incident reportedly occurred in January of this year and an arrest warrant was issued for the defendant.  However Narine was apprehended three days ago at his residence in Essequibo.
It is alleged that Narine was asked to sell the articles and return the proceeds to Patoir, but he instead used the profits. The man seemed unwell as he stood in the prisoners’ dock to answer to the charge.  He however pleaded not guilty. The court learnt that the defendant usually suffers from hypertension and was held in police custody for the past three days. He was released on $100,000 bail and ordered to return to court on November 1.
