Police Investigate Alleged Car Import Scam Involving Cashew Hill Man
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.
