–urge victims to step forward

THE Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) has announced that David Singh, a 39-year-old taxi driver from Lot 1246 Eccles New Scheme, East Bank Demerara, is currently in police custody. Authorities are urging members of the public who might have been defrauded by Singh to report to the Brickdam Police Station.

According to the GPF, Singh’s alleged modus operandi involves obtaining money under false pretence by claiming he can secure house lots for his victims through the Ministry of Housing. Investigations revealed that Singh has allegedly used the names of Ministry officials and police officers—leveraging his status as a former member of the GPF—to lend credibility to his claims and intimidate victims.

David Singh is no stranger to the courts, with two similar fraud cases already pending against him. In addition, fresh allegations have surfaced, implicating him in defrauding several other individuals.
The GPF is appealing to anyone who might have fallen victim to Singh’s alleged scams to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation. Reports can be made directly at the Brickdam Police Station.

This appeal highlights the importance of public co-operation in addressing fraudulent activities and ensuring justice for victims.
