Title: Individuals Arrested on Fraud and Possession Charges in Lincoln and North Hykeham
In a recent development, two individuals have been apprehended by local law enforcement on suspicion of fraud by false representation and possession of illegal property. The arrests were made in relation to a series of incidents across Lincoln and an isolated case in North Hykeham. Currently, while the police consolidate their case, the suspects have been released on police bail. This incident forms part of Lincolnshire police’s continuous initiative to raise public awareness about deceptive scam calls. The police emphasise, ‘Let it be known, that no bank or legitimate official will ever harass you for your PIN or bank cards, neither will they request you to withdraw cash or purchase items for them.’ Additionally, they stress that the public should never fall for the ploy of ‘verifying personal details or PIN code over the phone’, nor believe in any offers to collect their bank card via courier. Some sound advice indeed.
