A 26-year-old seamstress who has been charged in connection with an alleged fraud has been granted bail in the amount of $80,000 as the case progresses.
Uriana Scott, of Lot 88 David Rose Street, Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, who was arrested on February 4, 2025 by Detective Constable Joseph, was formally charged on February 11 with obtaining money by false pretence, contrary to Section 194 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
Charged: Uriana Scott
Scott appeared before Magistrate Rondel Weever at the Wales Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to her. She pleaded not guilty and was placed on bail in the sum of $80,000.
The charge stems from an alleged computer-related fraud involving Marvin Peters, which reportedly occurred on February 2, at Patentia, West Bank Demerara.
Police launched an investigation into the matter, leading to Scott’s arrest and subsequent court appearance.
The case has been adjourned until March 5, 2025, when statements are expected to be filed and a fixture date will be set.
