A 40-year-old businesswoman was granted $500,000 bail with a surety last Tuesday (24th October 2023) by a Justice of the Peace (JP), on nine (9) charges in connection with vehicle fraud reports, totaling $525,700.
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) said Terkessa Brereton-Duncan, of Cipero Road, San Fernando, was charged on 24th October 2023 with five (5) counts of money laundering, totaling $154,700, larceny in the amount of $153,000, fraudulent conversion in the amounts of $57,000 and $161,000, respectively, and uttering a forged valuable security. Brereton-Duncan is expected to appear before the San Fernando Magistrates’ Court on 14th December 2023, to answer the charges. She was arrested and jointly charged by Cpl. Lewis and PCs Williams and Ali, of the Fraud Squad South Office, who launched an investigation into Police reports in which several persons reported having handed over down-payments to a woman, believed to be of a Roll-On Roll-Off company. According to the reports, the down-payments were to be used for the importation, registration and delivery of various types of vehicles. Detectives were informed, however, that the woman was never in a position to execute the transactions and all efforts by the prospective buyers to retrieve the funds proved futile. The investigation was supported by personnel attached to the Research Analytical Unit. We are a small operation.
