A 47-year-old Arouca man was arrested and expected to be charged yesterday, after he reportedly accepted a quantity of cash from a man, but failed to provide him with a van that he claimed to have for sale.
Police said the victim paid $74,000 to the suspect in July 2025 for the purchase of a Nissan panel van.
The victim later told police that the suspect, whom he knows, claimed the vehicle was at the Port-of-Spain port and he was prepared to sell it to him at a discount.
