A man and a woman who reported to police that they were robbed on Sunday night of $500,000 at Port Kaituma by men speaking a ‘foreign language’ have admitted to lying.
Based on information received, detectives in the Division contacted them both, and the businesswoman admitted to not being robbed and that the report made was a fabrication.
The man is now claiming that he lost the money – which was given to him by a third party to purchase items. They were both told of the allegation, cautioned and arrested and remain in custody assisting with further investigations.
