A Port of Spain businesswoman was charged with fraud a year after she bought more than $100,000 worth of drinks with bounced cheques.

In April 2024, the 30-year-old businesswoman allegedly purchased a quantity of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages valued at $122,262 from a supplier.

She paid with two cheques, one for $51,991 and another for $70,271 but when the supplier tried to deposit them, the bank returned both cheques and said they could not be honoured.
