Local briefs: 5 held in pounds 200k fraud probe

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), July 3, 2008

FIVE people were arrested by West Yorkshire Police following raids on three addresses in connection with organised fraud. The detectives targeted addresses in Bradford, Baildon and Wakefield and seized three luxury cars. A Ferrari, Porsche Boxster and a Land Rover with an estimated value of pounds 200,000 were taken from the property in Baildon.

In total, police are looking at seizing over pounds 2 million worth of assets. The five arrested - three men aged between 23 and 43 and two women aged 25 and 28 - remain in custody. Det Insp Noel Devine - who led the raids which were code-named Operation Soprano - said: "West Yorkshire Police are committed to removing the negative role models from communities."
