Police have intensified their crackdown on courier fraud in Hatton Garden after over 21 million was lost by victims in the last financial year. The City of London Police, with the Metropolitan Police, are focusing on disrupting criminals who deceive vulnerable individuals into purchasing gold and jewellery, later collected by fraudsters posing as officials. Previous enforcement efforts led to multiple arrests and cash seizures. Increased patrols will target suspicious activity and local businesses will be engaged to enhance awareness and protection for potential victims.
