The Suva Magistrate’s Court today sentenced a 30 year old unemployed man from Wairuku, Rakiraki, to two years imprisonment for obtaining goods on false pretence.
Ronal Rohit Chand pleaded guilty to two counts of obtaining goods worth $3,259 on false pretence on the 17th of March this year from Wailada based Aghen Limited.
The court was told that Chand went to Aghen Limited on the morning of 17th March and ordered farming equipment worth $1,188 on behalf of the Rakiraki based Farmers Friendly shop.
He later went to the shop in the afternoon and again ordered equipment worth $2,071.
When checks were made with the Farmers Friendly shop for the payment of the equipment, it was revealed that Chand was not an employee with Farmers Friendly shop.
A complaint was made to police and Chand was taken into custody.
No items have been recovered so far.
