Police have arrested 120 people across NSW over an alleged scam that blamed
traffic and parking infringements on a dead person and an interstate resident to
avoid paying the fine.
Strike Force Kindilan has identified 238 people who allegedly submitted false
statutory declarations to avoid the fines after an audit by the State Debt
Recovery Office.
Police allege the offenders used one of two people on the documents - one person
who is dead and the other who lives interstate.
It is estimated the fines totalled $80,000.
A weekend operation by police officers from 42 local area commands arrested 120
people in relation to the alleged scam.
Police charged 76 people with a total of 150 offences, all of whom were bailed
to appear in court at a later date.
"These offences amount to fraud, and, if proven, those involve could face stiff
penalties including imprisonment," Superintendent Daryl Donnolley said.
Police said further arrests are expected.
