Young man arrested in Aragón for faking bank transfers in purchase of three cars
The Superior Police Headquarters of Aragón has arrested a young man to whom three fraud offences are attributed in vehicle purchase and sale operations between private individuals, according to elconfidencial.com.
The three cases followed the same pattern: the suspected perpetrator made contact with sellers through a private car sales platform. In all cases, the vehicles were cars of the same make and their price was around €20,000.
The suspect arranged a meeting with the sellers and pretended to make bank transfers to speed up the vehicle ownership transfer. The victims discovered days later that the transactions were fake and that they had not received the agreed amount.
The investigative team managed to identify the suspected perpetrator, although initially he was not located, so a search and arrest warrant was registered in the police databases.
On 25 July, a patrol unit on public safety duties identified the suspect and proceeded with his arrest, transferring him to the Provincial Judicial Police Unit, where the corresponding report was drawn up.
That same afternoon he was brought before the judicial authorities and, after giving a statement, was released.
