Two remanded on fraud and forgery charges

Two Goodwill men charged with fraud and forgery are now on remand at the Stockfarm Prison .

Kendel Rodney and Kiron Gregoire appeared before magistrate Ossie Lewis Friday morning accused of maliciously offering a fraud cheque to Texaco gas station at Portsmouth on June 10th and forging a cheque to the said gas station in the amount of $450.00.

According to the police the cheque came from a chequebook which was allegedly stolen from the Goodwill Secondary School.

The men were not allowed to plead and the matter was adjourned to 22nd October, 2012.

The prosecution objected to bail for Kendel Rodney stating that the cheque book had not yet been recovered and cheques were still coming into business places.

Bail was open to Gregoire, however, at a sum of $18,000 with a proper surety. Gregoire’s mother appeared in court attempting to stand as surety for her son. However she was not deemed as a fit and proper surety.

Meanwhile, Rosemary Toussaint has to forfeit $2000 to the court by September or face 4 months in prison for failing in her duties as surety for her son Leon Toussaint. Toussaint failed to appear in court on a day set for his trial and neither he nor his mother communicated a reason to the court for his absence.

Toussaint was brought to court Friday morning on a summons where she presented a medical paper to the court stating that her son was ill on the day in question. However, Magistrate Ossie Lewis told her that the court had to implement a serious penalty on her for her negligence. He added that sureties must realise the responsibility that they have.

Leon had been granted $10,000 bail. His mother will continue to stand as surety for him.

    There are more people committing fraud out there. And I know they
    Are also going to be caught. There are also people who took prisoner
    Already and still not learning from their crime. They to
    Will be caught.

      @ Worried oh so you even want to use GOD and Kendel Rodney in the same sentence? You brave and out of place. Ask his VICTIMS and their families what he has put them through for years and you will see who God will and will not help. It’s only when all you embarassment is exposed you all remember God? He is a damn lowlife and a damn thief! Where were you when he was hot jumping people cars and take it to rob other businesses, then abandon the vehicle all bounced up? where were you when he was breaking into people homes,terrorizing Goodwill and the environs with his criminal activity. If you go in trash can and pick up that reject too bad for you, deal with your garbage because Kendel doesn’t deserve less than a wicked beating for 9 days and 9 nights! Where were you when he would unplug people cylinders in their kitchen while they asleep and go and sell it? where were you and all you God fearing qualities. You better pray your soutiweh ways don’t land you in hot water with him.

    Don’t cry for Rodney. He is a big fraud and will pay all his life for what he continues to do. He will never prosper. Be careful of this guy. he sells what he doesnt own and the court system is slow and he manipulates and gets away even after being clearly at fault.
    EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW HIM AND SPREAD THE WORD. ONE OF THE BIGGEST FRAUDS…CHECK IS CRIME SHEET AT THE COURT.

    Kendel Rodney again!!!! geez man mr supposed to be damn near 50 if not 50 and he still in that nonesense. I remember a time he put somebody car on the four rims and sell the tires, look trouble early sunday morning in that lane. Send that Canada it was same crime spree, he got deported back to Dominica and he is just a master mind. People warn your sons and daughters to steer clear off Kendel Rodney!!! MR is a pro, I’m surprised this time he got caught he actually was sent to jail, normally is his accomplices who takes the fall. How he get Goodwill School Cheque book?

    why didnt the bank cancel all the checks .just like somebody writing a check and stopping it on the way .thats shouldnt be so hard

    It seems to me that Kendel has runnings with the law all the time thye might have to change his
    name to trouble. Maybe the law is too easy with
    him thats why he kept committing crimes over and
    over again. Good for him no bail he might learn
    form that.

    There is some news going around that some Dominican were arrested in NY on fraud and gun trafficking, and a lot of other charges have anyone heard of it. It was on NY news and it is also on the internet website manhatannda,org-press-release-da I would just like to know if there is any truth to it

      Do your research boss and find out for yourself. What? You want to highlight the bad news about Dominica and Dominicans? I am not saying that we should hide the facts, but “let sleeping dogs lie” boss.

      @ Jamaican

      I do not know why you are interested unless you are a Dominican. There is the saying, there is no smoke without fire. I have not heard of it. I am curious to know if this is true and who they are. CNN may have broadcasted it or other TV Station. You can rest assured that if it is true, they may be imprisoned. If they are not landed residents, after serving time, they will eventually be deported to Dominica. We will hear more.

    DNO, given the fact that these individuals have been charged, I suggest you make an attempt to release their photo. We need to see the faces of those charged with fraud in particular.

        You need to stop acting dumb. It is because the faces of criminals are hidden that they are able to fool innocent persons over and over again. Take for example Dominica’s notorious rapist Shabba, ever wondered how he was able to lure so many unsuspecting victims? When you love your family you don’t cover up their crimes you make them face the consequences and seek ways for them to reform.

      This a joke, right? Are you out of your mind? This individual, one of which I know, don’t have to face a grand jury. He has been a menace to Dominica society too long. His time to do some hard time is long overdue. Protect Dominica. Put him away for a long long time.

    NOT TO BE PUBLISHED…
    You guys seem to have a problem with plural nouns! A few days ago you gave us “aircrafts” and today “suretys”…What the hell is wrong with you?

  27. July 28, 2012

    We must pray for our criminals young and old. This Kendel Rodney guy will not stop committing Fraud so long mr doing those things and at his old age still has not decided to stop this crime spree. When will that long awaited bail act come to the fore whats taking so long? As usual the people responsible can copy Barbados recently enacted Bail act. Lets all join In prayer for our country and its people.

      @ Hope

      Habitual criminals, especially if they are older people should be incarcerated for life or for some years. They should not be granted bail.

      @ Aunty B

      Mothers do feel the pain. They also suffer the embarrassment. They do pray for their children that they may convert and change. The children must pray for themselves and practice the faith. I do believe in order to achieve that they need spiritual and professional counseling, if only Dominica had a professional counselor, appointed or approved by the government.
