A St Andrew businessman has been charged with fraud for allegedly failing to deliver a vehicle for which he was given $2.5 million.
Charged with fraudulent conversion and non-delivery of goods is 52-year-old Michael Scott.
Reports from the Half-Way Tree police are that in January 2026, a man reportedly gave Scott $2,500,000 to purchase a 2020 Nissan Caravan from Japan.
However, after the agreed date for the delivery of the vehicle had passed, Scott allegedly failed to provide the vehicle and refused to refund the money paid to him.
A report was subsequently made to the police.
Scott was arrested on Wednesday, September 2.
He was later charged.
His court date is being finalised.
