PROPRIETOR of the Santa Rosa Hotel at Nigg Settlement, Albion, Corentyne, Narine Mohabir, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo charged with fraudulent conversion and was granted $75,000 bail pending his trial on November 6.

He is alleged to have been solely entrusted with a bag containing a diamond ring, two pairs of gold jingles, a gold band, and cash totalling $1,093,000, property of Anthony Vazquez, on September 10, when the complainant rented a room at the hotel but left to have ‘a few drinks’ with friends.
Hours later, on requesting his articles, the defendant allegedly said he was never given the items.
The case has been transferred to Albion Court.
