A man and woman have been arrested after a number of bank frauds across Scotland.
The pair are being reported in connection with eight incidents in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dalkeith between July and September.
Branches on Aberdeen’s Albyn Place and Union street notified officers they had been hit, and the 40-year-old man and 36-year-old woman were taken into custody.
The total money lost is estimated to be a five-figure sum.
Further enquiries are ongoing.
The pair are expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.
Detective Sergeant David Williamson, from North East CID, said: “These arrests highlight the benefits of national cooperation across Police Scotand’s Divisional boundaries to tackle financial crime.
“I would like to thank staff at the relevant bank branches for their assistance with our enquiries.”
