PSNI Organised Crime Branch Chief Supt Roy McComb heading up dirty money and fraud probe

TWO more people have been arrested as part of a lengthy investigation into money laundering and insurance fraud.

The pair – aged 39 and 43 – were questioned by detectives from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch.

The suspects were subsequently released on bail.

A man, aged 48, and a 39-year-old woman were arrested in Ballymena on Tuesday.

Police said the investigation was expected to continue for some time.

Since May last year, 18 people have been arrested as part of the investigation.

All have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

The investigation is being headed up by Detective Chief Supt Roy McComb.

He said the probe is protracted and will take some time to complete.

An extensive police file on the case will eventually be forwarded to the Public Prosecution Service on whether to bring charges or not.
