Insurance Scam: Sangre Grande Man Charged With Fraud, Forgery, Larceny
A man charged with multiple counts of fraud, forgery, and larceny, was granted bail by Master Hosein at the Sangre Grande Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (8th January, 2026).
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), Sheldon George of El Carmen Street, Sangre Grande, appeared before the Court and was granted bail in the sum of $75,000 with surety. As part of his conditions, he is required to report to the Sangre Grande Police Station every Wednesday between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and is under a no-contact order with the victim. The matter has been adjourned to 8th June, 2026.
George faces eleven (11) counts of forgery, eleven (11) counts of uttering forged documents, one (1) count of fraudulent conversion, and one (1) count of larceny. These charges arose from an investigation by the Eastern Division into allegations that George received sums totaling over $37,000 from a female victim, between 2015 and 2022, purportedly to pay insurance premiums, but he allegedly misappropriated the funds.
The investigation revealed that George was no longer employed by the insurance company at the time and that he forged several policy documents in an attempt to deceive the victim.
The operation leading to his arrest was conducted on 6th January, 2026 by Officers of the Eastern Division, Fraud Squad under the supervision of Senior Superintendent Jackman, ASP Thomas, and Inspector Bachoo, and led by Corporal Liverpool with assistance from several other Officers.
