A woman from Sydney has recently been accused of fraud in connection with a police investigation into a group that claimed to have psychic abilities. NSW Police Detective Inspector Craig Brooks revealed that Strike Force Recycling was established in July to look into reports of individuals posing as psychics and deceiving four victims of their money and possessions.
According to authorities, this group has been operating in the greater Sydney area since 2006. Just today, officers arrested a 48-year-old woman from Punchbowl Road in Punchbowl as part of their ongoing investigation. As they searched her home, they found various items such as tarot cards and a crystal ball, which were immediately seized.
The woman was then taken to Campsie police station, where she was charged with multiple counts of identity theft, money laundering, participating in organized crime, fraud, and hindering the discovery of evidence. She was not granted bail and is scheduled to appear in Bankstown Local Court today.
It's worth noting that back in August, a 48-year-old woman and a 49-year-old man were also charged with similar fraud-related crimes and are currently facing trial. Detective Inspector Brooks stated that all these suspects are acquainted with one another.
In light of this situation, the police are urging anyone who has information about these fraudulent activities or suspects they may have fallen victim to them to come forward and share it with Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000. It's crucial to put a stop to these deceitful acts and bring the perpetrators to justice.
