A man will appear in court today charged with fraud-related offences after police seized high-end electronics and designer handbags at a Randwick unit yesterday.
Detectives from Richmond Police District established Strike Force Camburt to investigate a string of fraud-related offences across Australia to the value of $500,000.
Following extensive inquiries, officers from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command executed a search warrant at a unit on Barker Street, Randwick, about 3pm (Tuesday 16 February 2021).
Officers arrested a 51-year-old man and declared the unit a crime scene.
Officers returned to the unit this morning (Wednesday 17 February 2021) and executed a second search warrant where they located and seized designer handbags, clothing, and electronic goods.
The man was taken to Maroubra Police Station where he was charged with four outstanding warrants and a further 47 fraud-related offences allegedly committed across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia.
The Randwick man was refused bail and will appear before Waverley Local Court today (Wednesday 17 February 2021).
Inquiries are continuing.
