He was taken into custody for 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.”
