The other charge against him stated that on the same date and location, he stole one Android cellular phone valued $60,000, property of Isaacs.
Police prosecutor Vishnu Hunte had no objections to bail in relation to the fraud charge and as such bail was granted in the sum of $50,000. The defendant is expected to make his next court appearance on June 3, 2019.
