Local man questioned by police

A Market Harborough man has been questioned by Police after being arrested when officers intercepted a suspected fraud by rogue builders in Kent.

Concerns were raised after a bank received a request by a home owner in Broadstairs to withdraw a large sum of money to pay for a roof repair.

Enquiries revealed the victims had been approached by cold callers in July and had given several sums of cash to them since then.

The 23 year old Harborough man was held on suspicion of fraud by false representation along with two other men.

None of the suspects has been named – and all have now been released on bail, pending further enquiries by Kent Police.
