A 29-year-old businessman of Harbour View Road, Stony Hill, St Andrew, has been charged with fraudulent conversion following an incident on Constant Spring Road, Kingston 8, on Saturday 16, 2023.

A man reportedly visited Palmer’s business establishment, where he made a payment of JMD $115,000 for a 2018 Honda Civic RHD headlight.

The customer reportedly received a receipt with the details of his purchase and was told that he would receive his purchase item within two weeks.

After several months passed and the man did not receive the item, a report was made to the police.

During the police investigation, it was discovered that Palmer converted the money to his use and
benefit.

He was previously arrested on Saturday, April 27, for a similar offence and was additionally charged for this incident.

His court date is being finalised.
