The sting follows a lengthy and complex investigation by Cheshire Constabulary’s Economic Crime Unit, examining the activities of a group thought to be fraudulently leasing high value cars, which are then transported overseas and not returned.
Detective Sergeant 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.
