Crane woman in court over alleged Lexus fraud

A Crane, West Coast Demerara woman accused of conspiring with others to fraudulently obtain $5.4 million under the pretence that she could deliver a Lexus vehicle, was granted $200,000 bail by a city court.

It was alleged that Chandroutie Tiwari, 46, of Lot 73 Second Street, Crane, between February 1 and April 24, 2015, at Diamond, conspired with Gopaul Tiwari and persons unknown to obtain $5,400,000 from Kiwani Komal by pretending to be able to obtain a Lexus SUV vehicle to deliver to the said Komal.

Tiwari pleaded not guilty to the charge and the court was told by her attorney that the arrangement between the accused and the complainant was an ongoing contractual one.

Tiwari was granted bail in the sum of $200,000 by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan and the matter has been adjourned to March 14 for statements.
