Sheffield, Westmoreland – A 37-year-old businessman is now facing fraud charges after allegedly failing to return money he collected as a deposit to import a motor vehicle.
The accused, Mickel Gordon, was slapped with a charge of fraudulent conversion on Tuesday, August 26. Police say a court date is being finalised.
Reports from the Savanna-la-Mar Police are that in August 2024, Gordon struck a deal with a woman to import a 2015 Toyota Voxy valued at $1.5 million. The woman reportedly transferred $400,000 to Gordon’s account as a deposit, with the understanding that the vehicle would arrive in January 2025.
However, when the woman enquired about the vehicle’s arrival, Gordon allegedly told her it had already landed in Jamaica — but was sold to someone else.
The woman made several attempts to recover her money, but police say Gordon failed to issue any refund.
After a report was made, investigators launched a probe, which led to Gordon being taken into custody during an operation earlier this week.
He was formally charged and will appear in court soon.
