It s no secret that some of the most horrific crimes in the North East are committed by gangs.
A SUSPECTED fraudster wanted in connection with a con that coerced pensioners into posting large sums of cash has been arrested. Last November, a specialist team of officers travelled to London as part of a large-scale investigation launched after a handful of elderly residents in Bedlington and Seghill reported they had been targeted by fraudsters claiming to work for HMRC. The victims all reported being pressured into handing over valuables and cash. Inquiries into the complex fraud led officers from the North East Regional Special Operations Unit (NERSOU) to addresses in London and Middlesex, where a number of suspects were arrested and interviewed on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering, with the help of the Metropolitan and City of London Police.
