Seven men have been charged relating to suspected fraudulent activity where devices may have been used to withdraw money from cash machines across the UK.

Detectives from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) said three men were detained at London Luton Airport as they attempted to leave the country, one person was arrested in Watton, Norfolk, and three others were arrested from three different Luton addresses.

A Lamborghini, a Porsche, two other cars, 30 suspected cloned car keys, and a number of digital devices were also seized.

All seven were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation.

ERSOU said it worked with Bedfordshire and Kent Police on the investigation.

All seven men were remanded into custody and due to appear at Luton Crown Court on Monday, 20 January.
