A car agent at Longlongo who orders used cars from Japan has been charged with obtaining money, reportedly $20,300 pa’anga by false pretense from a client.
The complainant, a 45-year-old man who lives at Ha’ateiho filed his complaint with police last week.
He alleged that he had visited this female accused who orders used cars and paid her the money to purchase a three-tonne truck in August last year.
Police said today the complainant had not received the truck nor had recovered his money.
The accused has since been arrested and charged with the offence.
The investigation continues as there have been similar complaints filed with police against the same person.
