100 OFFICERS RAID HOMES IN CONNECTION TO A CAR LEASING SCAM,5 MEN ARRESTED
Five men have been arrested after more than 100 police took part in dawn raids to disrupt a high value car leasing scam.
Officers from Cheshire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police targeted suspected criminals in eight properties across Oldham , Levenshulme and Stockport .
The men, aged between 28 and 58-years-old, remain in police custody.
It follows an investigation into an organised crime gang who are thought to have been fraudulently leasing high value cars, which are transported overseas and then never seen again.
Det Sgt Brian Faint, of Cheshire Constabulary’s Economic Crime Unit, said: “Organised crime groups bring misery and pain to our communities.
“Fraud is not a victimless crime and today’s operation was a great success. It reinforces our commitment to targeting those who believe they can commit these offences and get away with it.
“We will continue to track down anyone believed to be involved in these offences to ensure we protect our communities and local businesses.”
