Police are investigating a possible case of fraud after a couple spent $36,000 to purchase two Housing Development Corporation (HDC) houses advertised for sale on Facebook marketplace.

A Tunapuna woman told police she contacted a man sometime on February 3 after she saw an ad about the sale of two HDC houses in Phase Four, Malabar.

Two days later she went to a bank in Tunapuna and made an $18,000 downpayment for the purchase of one of the houses.
