Police have charged an employee of a financial institution with 22 alleged fraud-related offences, following a two-month investigation in Ryde.
In May 2015, officers attached to Ryde Local Area Command commenced an investigation into alleged mail theft and fraud-related offences within the North West Metro area of Sydney.
Following inquiries, at 7.30am Friday, police arrested a 23-year-old man.
It will be alleged the man, who was an employee of a financial institution at the time of the incidents, sold personal customer information retrieved from internal databases, to other people.
The man was charged with 22 counts of deal with identity information and granted bail, to appear a Burwood Local Court on Friday 25 August 2015.
A 21-year-old man, who is alleged to have bought some of the information supplied, has been charged and remains before the courts.
Investigations into the incidents continue.
Police remind people to keep vigilant when it comes to monitoring mail deliveries and report any suspected suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers.
