US EditionNorfolk Police Help Recover Money for Older Woman Who Had Been Scammed
- On June 13, Arnaldo Katalay, a 26-year-old from Billericay, was handed a 23-month custodial term for his involvement in a courier fraud scheme that targeted elderly women in the UK.
- The scam involved calls impersonating police officers to an 88-year-old Hertfordshire woman in May 2023, who was tricked into handing over bank cards and withdrawing £3,500, which were later misused.
- Police identified Katalay as collecting money in Portsmouth related to this case and linked him to use of stolen bank cards making £1,000 in Apple Store payments and withdrawing £500 from an ATM.
- Katalay was taken into custody in October 2023 following a thorough inquiry conducted by the Economic Crime Unit of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, and he pleaded guilty at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on April 25.
- Police advise the public to report fraud via 101, dial 999 if a crime is in progress, and warn that genuine officers never ask to withdraw money or disclose personal information over the phone.
