A taxi driver was yesterday charged for fraudulently converting $3.7 million in top up from a mobile operating store to his own use, after he was entrusted to sell it.
It is alleged that Frankie Dickson, a father of three, between January 1, 2018 and August 31, 2018, at Georgetown, allegedly took $3.752 million in top up from Speed Talk Mobile Operation Inc., after he was solely entrusted to sell it, then converted it to his own use.
The taxi driver pleaded not guilty to the charge, which was read to him by Magistrate Faith McGusty, of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Police Prosecutor, Ceon Blackman, objected to bail being granted to the accused because of the amount of money mentioned in the charge.
However, Dickson was granted bail in the sum of $250,000, and was told to report to the CID Headquarters every Monday. Dickson is scheduled to return to court on February 13 for his next hearing.
