Fraudsters opened an account at Derry Credit Union in a bid to launder stolen money, a court was told today.
A total of £4,000 was lodged into a false account at the local credit union in 2019 before the criminals tried to withdraw the money.
However, staff at the credit union were alerted to the scam and police were able to arrest one of the fraudsters when he arrived to try and take out the money.
