Man arrested and over £120,000 cash seized in fraud investigation

Detectives from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) have arrested a Bedfordshire man and seized £124,000 in cash as part of a fraud investigation.

Following a warrant in Luton on Tuesday (July 25), a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation.

The man was taken into custody for further questioning and later bailed, pending further enquiries.

The investigation relates to reports of fraudulently obtained personal details being used to access personal bank accounts.

A/Detective Sergeant Joanne Fincham, from ERSOU's Regional Organised Crime Unit, said: "As a team, we are committed to identifying, disrupting and prosecuting offenders behind fraud, along with confiscating current and future assets.

"There are several potential consequences of committing these crimes, and we will continue to work hard to bring anyone involved in fraud to justice."
