Princes Town Woman Granted $200,000 Bail for Fraud, Extortion, and Kidnapping Charges

This report covers princes town woman granted with key details and context.

A Princes Town woman has been granted TT$200,000 bail after facing charges of fraud, extortion, kidnapping, and simple robbery. Michelle Lisa Guyadeen-Lutchman, 50, appeared before Master Sarah Da Silva at the San Fernando Magistrates’ Court on Monday 20th July 2026. The matter has been adjourned to September 4th, 2026.

Police allege that between July 2021 and May 2026, Guyadeen-Lutchman falsely represented herself as an employee of the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services. She is accused of promising to facilitate government assistance to rebuild a victim’s home, demanding monthly payments of TT$2,500 in return.

When the payments stopped, the victim and her family reportedly received repeated threats. This prompted a report to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s Anti-Extortion Unit, which launched an investigation into the allegations.

Acting on intelligence, officers from the Anti-Extortion Unit, supported by the Southern Division Criminal Investigations Department, executed a pre-dawn operation on Friday 10th July 2026. Between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., they arrested Guyadeen-Lutchman at her residence in Princes Town.

The investigation was spearheaded by Assistant Commissioner of Police Richard Smith, Criminal Division and Special Operations, coordinated by Sgt. Bacchus, and supervised by Cpl. Rampersad. The accused remains on bail pending her next court appearance.
