A 52-year-old miner of Lot 160 Eccles, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was on Wednesday jailed for 18 months by Magistrate Fabayo Azore after he was slapped with three fraud charges when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The first charge against Harry Lall stated that between September and October 2018 at Dennis Street, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, he obtained the sum of $1.78 million from Richard Harris by falsely pretending that he can pay off a loan.
Another charge stated that between October 3 and 5, 2018 at the same location, the miner also obtained the sum of $1.6 million by falsely pretending he could pay off a loan. Then, between October 13 and 20, 2018 at Croal Street, Georgetown, he incurred a debt to Travis Fitzpatrick of $80,000 by means of travelling in his motor car and not paying.
The man admitted to all the charges, and Magistrate Azore jailed him.
