The Criminal Investigations Department (C.I.D) has launched probes into two separate complaints made by Golden Grove residents who claim they were swindled out of tens of thousands of dollars in failed vehicle purchases.
In the first report, a woman of Golden Grove told police she paid $22,000 EC to a man from Cashew Hill in February 2025 for the importation of a 2009 white Honda CR-V from Japan.
However, she said that despite repeated follow-ups, the vehicle was never delivered. The matter was referred to the Gray’s Farm Police Station.
In the second case, another woman, also of Golden Grove, reported that between May 1 and June 11, 2025, she handed over $26,700 EC to that same man for the purchase of a 2013 white Toyota Vitz.
She also alleged that the vehicle never materialized. This complaint is also under investigation.
Both women provided police with receipts and details of the transactions, which are now being examined as part of the inquiries.
This why we have people like brown man of Jamaica, that’s all I going say
Why you name a witness to a break in and assault and not name the person who the money was given to.
Ladies it’s not that hard to order a vehicle on line. I did it myself with some directions from my broker who also assisted me when it got here.
I hope you all get justice
So, should I assume that they don’t know the man’s name? Cause me woulda like fu kip faaarrrrrr from he.
Well we have to stop getting people by the roadside to order vehicles for us. There are legitimate companies who do these things. With all the scamming going on how u going and be so stupid tho
My heart goes out to these women. Losing that kind of money is no small thing. I hope justice is served and they get back what’s theirs
How many more people have to be scammed before stiffer penalties are introduced for fraud? The law needs to send a strong message
This has been going on for years. Same story, different victims. Until real action is taken, these crooks will keep walking free while hardworking people suffer
If true, he should pay back every cent. Too much dishonesty in the country now.
People need to be extra careful with these so-called car importers. Always do your research before handing over a dollar. Scammers are everywhere
If the police already have receipts and proof, why is this man still walking free? We need to see arrests and prosecutions, not just investigations
