A 50-year-old man was granted bail in the sum of $60,000 by Justice of the Peace, Stephen Young yesterday, after he was charged with forgery of a Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Driver’s Permit and uttering of the said permit.

HEMRAJ RAMJASS, a self-employed truck driver, of Digity Village, Debe, was ordered to appear at the Port-of-Spain First Magistrates’ Court on April 29th, 2022.

Officials at the Port of Port of Spain reported to the Fraud Squad, that on January 6th, 2022, a man made an application for a pass to access the Port. In support of the application, he allegedly produced documents, including a Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Driver’s Permit.
