Main Points
A Freeport man has been granted bail after facing charges of fraudulently obtaining goods valued at $19,500. The accused, Kimraj Nandlal, appeared before Justice of the Peace Carl Dattoo on August 19, 2026, and was granted bail set at $120,000 with surety. The charges stem from an incident dating back to July 3, 2025, where Nandlal allegedly deceived a business owner in Sangre Grande. He reportedly promised to pay for glass products and other materials via an online bank transfer. However, the payment was never made, and a post-dated cheque given in its place was later dishonored. Efforts by the victim to recover the outstanding amount were unsuccessful, prompting a report to the Fraud Squad (East). Corporal (Ag.) Thomas led the investigation, which culminated in a coordinated operation on August 17, 2026. Law enforcement officers arrested Nandlal at his Freeport residence. The operation and subsequent arrest were supervised by Senior Superintendent Jackman, W/Supt. Theodore-Persad, and ASP Thomas, among others. After consulting with legal officers, Nandlal was officially charged on August 18, 2026. Nandlal is scheduled to appear before a Master of the High Court on August 21, 2026. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to tackle fraud and protect business owners from deceptive practices.
