Fraud and Cybercrime Squad detectives have today arrested another man following investigations into fraud and identity crime offences.

Strike Force Werewolf was established by the Cybercrime Team, part of the Fraud and Cybercrime Squad, in 2012 to investigate the fraudulent purchase of goods and services using stolen credit card data bought online.

The goods and services included retail items, flights and holiday rentals, cash withdrawals and even mortgage repayments.

Police allege a number of ‘mules’ were used to receive the goods and make cash withdrawals using the stolen credit card data.

Today (Tuesday 23 April 2013), a 42-year-old man became the second man arrested this week after he attended Hurtsville Police Station at the request of detectives.

He was charged with one count each of deal with identity information to commit indictable offence; dishonestly obtain property by deception; and participate in a criminal group.

The man was granted conditional bail to appear at Central Local Court on Monday 13 May 2013.

Police allege that in December last year, the man used fraudulent identification to withdraw $140,000 from another person’s bank account.

Today’s arrest follows that of a 41-year-old man yesterday who will also appear at Central Local Court on Monday 13 May 2013.

Eight people in total have now been arrested and charged by Strike Force Werewolf detectives.

The NSW Police Force Cybercrime Team was created in November of 2011 to identify and apprehend individuals participating in organised crime, cybercrime and technology-enabled crime.
