A speedboat and luxury Italian supercars are among the vehicles seized by police during the arrest of a London man accused of fraud. Anopkumar Maudhoo, 45, of Wapping, was charged with four counts of fraud by false representation on Friday (September 27), after a probe into a suspected large-scale conveyancing fraud by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU). The charges followed warrants carried out the day before at 11 locations across London and Radlett, in Hertfordshire.
Two men and two women were arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering offences. Officers also seized a speedboat and 22 high-value cars, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and several others. Documentation and digital devices were also found, along with around £70,000 in cash.

Maudhoo was remanded and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on October 25. Three others were released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
