Yesterday a teenage girl was held in custody until Monday for sentencing after admitting to defrauding a food delivery company of $1,950.

The 17-year-old girl, whose name is being withheld because she is a minor, stood before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain. She was accompanied by a family member to face a charge of fraud by false pretences.

Between August 3, 2021 and May 8 of this year, the girl is accused of defrauding Gofadis Food Pickup and Delivery Company of $1,950 by means of false pretences.

The girl elected to continue her matter in Magistrate’s Court after she pleaded guilty to the charge.

In accepting her guilty plea, Magistrate Swain deferred her sentencing to Monday.

The girl was represented by Attorney Keevon Maynard.
