A CONSTRUCTION worker of 536 Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, was Wednesday placed on $150,000 bail on a fraudulent conversion charge.

Robert Frost made his appearance before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

It is alleged that on May 19, being solely entrusted by Anson Weekes with the sum of $1.5 M to purchase a house lot, he fraudulently converted the money to his own use.

Police Prosecutor Michael Grant did not object to bail and the case was put off to October 3.
