A St Catherine businessman accused of collecting millions of dollars from persons for motor vehicles that were never delivered was granted $1 million bail with surety when he appeared in the parish court on Friday.Akeem Thomas is charged with three counts of fraudulent conversion and non-delivery of service.It is being alleged that he collected approximately $6 million from three complainants as part payments for motor vehicles.Thomas was granted bail following a successful application by his attorney, Shelldon Campbell, before Acting Senior Parish Court Judge Janelle Nelson-Gayle.In seeking bail, Campbell told the court that his client was willing to make restitution to the complainants.The judge, in granting bail, told the accused that the bail was being approved for the sole purpose of facilitating restitution to the complainants before his next court appearance on September 29.As part of the bail conditions, the judge ordered that Thomas must report to the Spanish Town Police Station, surrender his travel documents and be fingerprinted.A stop order was also imposed.Allegations are that in March, Thomas collected money from the complainants with the promise of supplying them with motor vehicles.It is further alleged that the vehicles were not delivered by the agreed dates, prompting the complainants to report the matter to the police.Following an investigation, Thomas was arrested and subsequently charged.- Rasbert TurnerFollow The Gleaner on X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram @JamaicaGleaner and on Facebook @GleanerJamaica.
