Two individuals apprehended in investigation spanning across borders involving over 50 fraud cases

Arrests made in cross-border fraud investigation spanning two years

The PSNI and An Garda Síochána have made significant progress in their investigation into a series of fraud cases on both sides of the Irish border. Two men, aged 47 and 34, have been arrested in connection with over 50 reports of fraud spanning two years.

The probe, which was launched following complaints from victims who did not receive payment after selling goods like machinery, has led to the seizure of cash, mobile phones, and plant machinery. The suspects have been released on bail as the investigation continues.

Detectives from the Serious Crime Branch have emphasized the seriousness of these crimes and are urging anyone who may have fallen victim to similar schemes to come forward. This proactive policing operation serves as a reminder that law enforcement agencies are committed to tackling fraud and protecting the community.

The collaboration between the PSNI and An Garda Síochána highlights the importance of cross-border cooperation in combating criminal activities. As the investigation progresses, authorities are encouraging anyone with information to contact the police.
