ATLANTIC Ville resident Rohee Ramsammy, called Kishan, recently revisited his Bath Settlement home village and allegedly gave counterfeit US notes to his former neighbour, Danrajne Ramdika.The virtual complainant, a cash crop farmer, told police that she has known the defendant for many years and trusted him. However, her confidence in him was destroyed after she was told by a cambio dealer that the US$400 which was given to her by the defendant was forged.
On August 20, Ramdika gave the defendant $80,000 in exchange for the foreign currency he had given her.  He had told her that he was desperately in need of the local currency to conduct business.
The virtual complainant subsequently reported the matter at the Blairmont Police Station and police acting on intelligence arrested Ramsammy.
The accused appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court on Tuesday and was not required to plead to the charge of uttering forged currency.
He was granted $80,000 bail and the matter was transferred to the Blairmont Court for September 15 for report and fixture.
