Daily Mail: Fraud Squad Cop Jailed Over Mortgage Fraud
A crooked fraud squad officer who masterminded a multi-million pound mortgage sting was jailed for nearly six years today.
Det Sgt Charles Overend, 47, a specialist fraud investigator with the Metropolitan Police, built up a buy-to-let empire during the property boom years.
Overend inflated the price of each house he bought, and was granted massive loans by mortgage lenders. The fraud totalled £4.5million, but Overend only accepted responsibility for £3.7million, relating to 23 properties.
