AN elderly man who is accused of forging a stamp from the Office of the President (OP) with intent to defraud on Thursday was remanded to prison. 

Seventy-one-year-old Frederick Ross of Lot 154 Government Island appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Judy Latchman.
The charge alleged that between March 15 and April 4, 2014, at Friendship, East Coast Demerara, he conspired with persons known or unknown to him to forge a stamp from the Office of the President, presenting it on a letter dated November 3, 2014 with the intent to defraud Evan Singh, also known as “Vilma.”
The prosecution objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the offence. Consequently, Ross was remanded to prison until January 26 and the case was transferred to the Vigilance Magistrates Court.
