Dorset Police retweeted
Our high streets should work for legitimate businesses, not criminals.
As part of #OpMachinize, an NCA-led crackdown on money laundering, every UK police force, along with Immigration Enforcement, Trading Standards, HMRC and Companies House are all working together to tackle crime hiding behind shop fronts.
Some high street businesses can be exploited to disguise criminal profits as legitimate earnings. This operation is about protecting our communities and our high streets from that exploitation.
JAILED | Nicholas Anthony Robinson, aged 42 of Poole, stole items from a car, home and business, and fraudulently used stolen credit cards to withdraw cash and buy goods.
