A 28-year-old woman will appear before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate on Tuesday charged with wasteful employment of police time.
Asha Samaroo, of Ivory Lane, KP Lands, Valencia, was charged on Friday after allegedly faking a kidnapping.
According to a police report on April 13, Samaroo made arrangements to meet with a 29-year-old man in Aranguez to return gold jewellery to him.
The man and the woman were parked in separate vehicles along Abdool-Young Road, Aranguez when the man came out of his vehicle and made his way to a Tiida vehicle driven by the woman. As he approached her vehicle two men approached, one allegedly grabbed her hand entered the Tiida vehicle with her and drove off in an unknown direction.
The man contacted the police who launched an investigation, contacted close relatives of the alleged victim and followed certain leads.
On April 14, at around 3,40 pm Samaroo went to the Barataria Police Station where she allegedly reported that she had escaped her kidnappers.
She was interviewed and her statements appeared inconsistent, then she allegedly revealed that she sold the jewellery days before and the two men who she reported kidnapped her were her associates and were paid to stage kidnapping and robbery.
The officers recovered the jewellery and investigations are ongoing.
