A Portmore, St Catherine car salesman accused of defrauding persons was today granted $700,000 bail with surety when he appeared in the parish court.

Adrian Cope is answering charges of fraudulent conversion, breaches of the Consumer Protection Act, and deceptive conduct.

During the bail hearing, attorney-at-law Odane Marston said his client was able to make restitution of $370,000, which was accepted by two complainants who told the court that they would be discontinuing the matter.
