Relative of Government senator reportedly held by police in matter involving fraudulent cheque

A case of fraud – allegedly involving the nephew of a government
senator – is being investigated
 
A source tells REAL News that the manager of the Bridge Service
Station on Valley Road telephoned the Criminal Investigations
Department (CID) and reported that a Bolans resident had
attempted to obtain money with a photocopied cheque.
 
It is alleged that the man had presented a copy of an ACB-Caribbean
cheque on the account of National Housing Development & Urban
Renewal Co. Ltd. The photocopied instrument was in the amount of
$900 and he sought to exchange it for cash.
 
This offence reportedly occurred on Monday, September 25.
Police officers visited the service station, where the proprietor
handed over the young man, along with the cheque.
According to the source, the suspect was arrested on suspicion of
fraud and taken to St. John Police Station.
 

Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident, there has been an act of house
break-in and larceny at a house under construction by the Antigua
and Barbuda Housing Authority.
 
It is alleged that the 54-year-old Jennings contractor reported to the
Grays Farm Police Station that the two-storey concrete house,
located in Denfields, had been broken into and two glass push-up
windows had been stolen.

This offence reportedly occurred between 4 p.m. on September 21
and 9 a.m. the following day.
 
Reportedly, the contractor had finished working on the day in
question and gone home, leaving the house secured. However, upon
his return the following day, he observed that the house had been
burglarized and the windows were missing.
 
It is alleged that the perpetrator used a hard object to destroy the
deadbolt lock and then used a flat object to open a front door.
Having entered, the intruder then went into a bedroom and stole the
windows.
 
A search for the missing items was carried out by the police in the
immediate surroundings, but without success.
