A 57-year-old minister of religion from St Catherine has been hit with fraud charges after a man allegedly paid more than US$12,000 for a motor truck that was never delivered  and his money never refunded.

Sean Green, of Oakwood Terrace, Wedgewood Gardens in Spanish Town has been charged with fraudulent conversion and non-delivery of goods and services on the contracted date, a police statement said Monday. 

Reports from the Spanish Town police indicate that the complainant allegedly paid Green US$12,132 for a 2010 Isuzu motor truck, which was to have been handed over in November 2025. 

It's alleged the vehicle was not delivered and the funds were not returned, prompting a police report that led to Green's arrest and charge.

He is scheduled to appear before the St Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday, May 19.
