Police Scotland officers have been investigating several frauds since September 2023, with victims reporting information being used to bypass bank security to access their accounts. The total value of the frauds being investigated is around £2million. Detective Sergeant John Fagan of Police Scotland’s Economic Crime and Financial Investigation Unit, said: “Following an extensive inquiry, and with the assistance of our colleagues at Greater Manchester Police and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit, two men have been arrested for the offences.
“This underlines our commitment to tackling fraudsters who target people in our communities and reassure the public that Police Scotland officers work tirelessly and in partnership with our law enforcement and banking industry colleagues to investigate financial crimes.” The Police Scotland investigation was supported by Operation Henhouse – a national Economic Crime Centre initiative to provide funding to allow forces to undertake additional operational activity against fraudsters.Join Glasgow Live's WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
