The Police have sought the assistance of the public to apprehend a suspect wanted for financial fraud of over Rs. 45 million committed through operating a fraudulent car dealership at the BMICH in Colombo.
The man along with other suspects had rented an office at the BMICH under the name ‘Regal Sales’ and had advertised vehicles for sale in newspapers. Seeing the advertisements, two individuals had recently arrived at the office to purchase a car and a jeep and had been shown the vehicles.
Two individuals who had posed as the owner and manager of the organization had requested the buyers to make a payment before they prepared the relevant sales documents, and the two buyers had paid Rs. 12.5 million and Rs. 33 million to the owner of the company.
However, the owner had told the buyers to wait until the relevant documents were prepared, while he had left with the money through the backdoor of the office.
Based on a complaint filed by the victims, the Cinnamon Gardens Police have launched an investigation to arrest the wanted suspect.
Those with information on the wanted suspect have been requested to inform the Police on 071 – 8591588. (NewsWire)
