Two men appeared in court last week in connection with an alleged check-fraud incident that occurred in late June.
T’kydre Wilson, 20, of Yorks Village, and Everette Joshua, 38, of Fort Road, are facing multiple charges, including forgery, uttering a forged document, and obtaining money by false pretenses. The charges stem from an incident involving a forged bank check that was allegedly used to fraudulently obtain $900 from a St John’s service station.
The alleged scheme involved the presentation of a forged Eastern Caribbean Amalgamated Bank (ECAB) check, which authorities say was used to deceive the business establishment. While both men are accused of forging and uttering the fraudulent document, Wilson faces an additional charge of larceny, while Joshua has been separately charged with receiving stolen property.
Both defendants appeared in court last week before Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason at St John’s Magistrates’ Court and were granted bail in the sum of EC$10,000 each, with a cash component of $500 required to be paid in cash.
The case has been adjourned until September 12, 2025, as the investigation continues under the supervision of the Criminal Investigations Department who are working to determine if there are additional victims or related cases.
