Taxi driver arrested in house lot scam

David Singh, a 39-year-old taxi driver of Lot 1246 Eccles New Scheme, East Bank Demerara was recently arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department of the Guyana Police Force.

Singh is accused of defrauding several persons in a house lot fraud. He is a former member of the Guyana Police Force.

Police Headquarters reported that “Singh’s modus operandi is obtaining money under false pretence from his victims by purporting that he can obtain house lots for them from the Ministry of Housing.”

And so, the Police Force is asking members of the public who were defrauded by him to report to the Brickdam Police Station.

Singh has two similar matters before the Court, and new allegations have surfaced that he has allegedly defrauded a number of other individuals.

Allegations have also surfaced that Singh is using the names of Ministry officials and police ranks during his scams. The latter is to intimidate his victims.
