Keenen Flores is Charged for Swindling Car Buyer

Tonight, a Dangriga car dealer is out on bail after being accused of obtaining property by deception. Thirty-year-old Keenen Anthony Flores, who claims to be a car dealer from New Site Area, Dangriga Town, was arraigned this morning in the Belize City Magistrate Court. Flores, who appeared without legal representation, faced a single charge of obtaining property by deception. The allegations date back to Monday, December thirtieth, 2024, when Flores allegedly deceived forty-five-year-old Carlos Cardinez into giving him a three thousand, eight hundred downpayment for a red 2006 Ford Escape. Cardinez, a manager at Caribbean Paper Mills, reported that Flores promised to deliver the vehicle that same day but never did. Feeling duped, Cardinez reported the matter to the police and sought court action.
