Five arrested for over 300 scams which netted £200,000
Five men have been arrested in relation to a scam that saw hundreds of elderly victims being targeted by conmen.
The sting, which was carried out in partnership with the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit, Metropolitan Police and West Midlands Police, led to the arrest of a 24-year-old and two 23-year-olds from the London area and a further two 24-year-olds in Birmingham. They remain in custody on suspicion of fraud and money laundering.
More than 300 incidents were reported in the Humberside force area alone – with more victims targeted nationally.
