A man was extradited to St. Croix and arrested after police said he used a worthless check to defraud a company of more than $2,000, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
Detectives with the Economic Crimes Unit began investigating Mohammad Suid on Feb. 20, 2025, after determining he “knowingly and designedly, by false or fraudulent representations or pretenses,” defrauded Crowley by paying for a shipment of merchandise with a worthless check, causing additional fees and financial loss, according to the police report.
Police said an arrest warrant was entered into the National Crime Information Center database. Suid was apprehended March 18 in Illinois after arriving on a flight from Jordan due to the outstanding warrant.
On March 27, VIPD’s Extradition Unit escorted Suid back to the territory, where he was arrested at Henry E. Rohlsen Airport by Economic Crimes Unit detectives, the police report stated.
Suid was transported to the Wilbur H. Francis Police Operation Building, served the arrest warrant, and advised of his Miranda rights, police said. He was charged with drawing and delivering worthless checks, participating in frauds on creditors, and obtaining money by false pretense, the report stated.
Bail was set at $7,000. Suid was unable to post bail and was remanded to the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility pending his advice of rights hearing, police stated.
