The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has launched probes into two separate complaints from Golden Grove residents who say they lost tens of thousands of dollars in failed vehicle purchases.
In the first case, a woman reported that she paid EC$22,000 in February 2025 to a man from Cashew Hill for the importation of a 2009 white Honda CR-V from Japan. Despite repeated follow-ups, she told police, the vehicle was never delivered. The matter has been referred to the Gray’s Farm Police Station.
A second woman, also from Golden Grove, alleged that she handed over EC$26,700 to the same man between May 1 and June 11, 2025, for the purchase of a 2013 white Toyota Vitz. She too claims the car never materialised.
Both women have provided receipts and transaction details, which investigators are now examining. Police confirmed that inquiries into the alleged swindles are ongoing.
