A man and a woman have been charged in connection with a continuing investigation into a £2m fraud in south-west England. Shameem Mohammed Ali, 43, and Atif Mohammed, 23, both from Glasgow, were arrested in the city on Thursday.
They have been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering offences, police said. Some 300 mainly elderly people, including victims in Wiltshire and Devon, have been tricked out of money. A 45-year-old man who has also been arrested as part of Operation Zephyr remains in police custody, a spokesman said.
