A year after Gopaul Tawari called ‘Omkar’ was sentenced to serve three years in prison on one fraudulent conversation charge and eight charges of false pretence, he is once again back in Guyana Police Force (GPF)’s radar.The police yesterday issued a wanted bulletin for 46-year-old Tawari of Lot 73 Second Street for questioning in relation to investigations into a series of fraudulent activities which occurred on October 19-22, last.Tawari is the same individual, who had told Magistrate Priya Sewnarine- Beharry that he would be turning over a new leaf when he appeared in front of her on June, 07 2014.He was charged with defrauding nine persons of nearly $40M in just over a year.He pleaded guilty and earned himself a total of 19 years in prison.Attorney-at-Law Paul Fung-A- Fat, who represented the fraudster, told the Georgetown Magistrates Court that Tawari had grown up as a “lonely child in a depressed area” and that the man had completely washed his hands on fraudulent activities.The lawyer then pointed out that his client had admitted immediately to his guilt and had “thrown himself at the court’s mercy”. Pointing to Tawari’s face, Fung-A-Fat said, “You can see from his face how sad and depressed he is,

He was also placed on a two-year bond to keep the peace.However, in October of the very year,

He did that by paying someone to put a padlock on his door daily.However, that cannot compare to a stunt he pulled in July 2012 when he deceived the police into allowing him to go to his trunk for his identification card.Kaieteur News understands that a mere three days after he got away from Alberttown Police Station,

The lawman alerted other ranks and four of them attempted to make the arrest.? The four ranks escorted the suspect out of the crowd and into the VIP parking lot.All the while,

All four of the ranks fell for it. They allowed him to enter the car to “pop” the trunk.He went into the car, “popped,” the trunk, then drove away, leaving all four ranks standing there.Anyone with information that may lead to his arrest is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 229-2700 to 3, 229-2557, 225-6411, 226-9941, 911 or the nearest police station.
