A 64-year-old man Wednesday appeared before a city magistrate on a fraud charge
The charge alleged that on September 18, 2015, at Robb and Oronoque Streets in Georgetown, Wesley Cornette obtained money by false pretense, claiming that he was the owner of a property located at 27-32 Aubrey Barker Street, North Ruimveldt.
The construction worker, who resides at Stevedore Housing Scheme, denied the charge that was read out to him in court by the senior magistrate.

The police prosecutor said the defendant told the virtual complainant that he was the owner of the property which rightfully belonged to Romeo Devonish. He tried to sell the building for five million dollars but didn’t succeed. A report was made and the defendant was arrested.

The prosecutor asked that substantial bail be granted to the defendant.
Bail was granted by Magistrate Fabayo Azore in the sum of $150,000 and the matter was adjourned to July 30, 2018.
