Met fraud squad investigator jailed over multi-million pound mortgage scam

A crooked fraud squad officer who masterminded a multi-million pound mortgage sting with the help of his brother and a solicitor's clerk 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, Southwark Crown Court heard.
