Businessman investigated for $14k Fraud at Lingies Lights and Windows
A businessman is under investigation for allegedly committing fraud at a company where he spent more than $14,000 on purchases.
On September 19, the Lingies Lights and Windows manager reported the incident to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
The manager claimed that the owner of another business had written two cheques from ACB Caribbean company for $5,225 and $9,120.01 to pay for various items.
However, according to the report, the Hispanic businessman issued the cheques on two separate occasions despite knowing insufficient money was in his account to cover the amounts.
The police have conducted a search for the alleged offender but have been unsuccessful so far.
Investigations into the incident, reportedly occurring between August 29 and September 6, are ongoing.
