CRIME | Ex-property agent defrauds friend using client’s apartment

The Judiciary Police (PJ) has detained a local woman in her 50s, alleged to have defrauded her friend out of around MOP800,000, using documents provided by her former client.
PJ information suggests that it received a report in June this year from the victim, claiming that she met the former property agent in May 2011. The suspect allegedly asked her friend – and victim – to lend her MOP800,000. She also showed the victim several documents to convince her that she owned a flat, and claimed that if she failed to repay the debt she would sell the property to the victim.
The victim claimed that she has kept contact with the suspect throughout the years and the suspect repaid MOP4,000 to her. However, she later found out that the property in question had already changed hands in 2012 and she could no longer contact the suspect.
The suspect was eventually intercepted as she was departing Macau on Saturday. According to the PJ, the suspect admitted that the property actually belonged to one of her former clients and she only used it to gain the trust of her victim.
In a separate case, the Public Security Police intercepted a taxi passenger in the early hours of the morning of November 28 in San Ma Lo, allegedly finding illicit substances and an animal organ on his person.
The man admitted that the two bags contained the drug known as “ice,” and that the four pills he also had were aphrodisiac drugs. He claimed to have bought the “ice” several hours earlier from a man near a casino in NAPE. As for the four pills, he claimed to have bought them in Hong Kong the previous month. Another yellow substance, on the other hand, consisted of decayed organs from the bodies of cats. The man claimed it had been an amulet given to him by a friend. JPL
