Three people have been arrested on a number of charges as part of an investigation into fraud, with one on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The arrests follow a report received by police in May 2024 relating to a local council body concerning suspected fraud.

On Wednesday, a 39-year-old man was arrested in the Ballymoney area on suspicion of multiple fraud offences, bribery, misconduct in public office, money laundering offences and forgery.

A 59-year-old man was arrested in the Waterside area of Londonderry on suspicion of fraud by false representation, bribery and money laundering offences.

A 39-year-old woman was also arrested in the Ballymoney area on suspicion of converting criminal property.

Searches at a number of properties are currently ongoing as part of the investigation and the PSNI have said all three remain in custody.
