A 24-year-old man was yesterday sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to conning three persons out of a total of $900,000 by pretending that he could supply them with vehicles.
Jermaine Fraser, of Lamaha Springs, was sentenced by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown after he pleaded guilty to three separate charges of obtaining money by false pretence.
Fraser denied a fourth charge.
Fraser admitted that with intent to defraud, he obtained the sum of $400,000 from Baldeo Puran on April 26th, at Georgetown, by falsely pretending that he was in a position to obtain a Toyota Carina 212 for him.
