Officers from our Cyber Dependent Crime Unit have charged a Halewood man with fraud and computer misuse act offences as part of a continuing investigation.
26-year-old Aaron Brown of Stanford Crescent was charged with three counts of Fraud by False Representation; Unauthorised computer access with intent to commit other offences; and Unauthorised acts with intent to impair operation of or prevent/hinder access to a computer.
The charges relate to allegations where Brown illegally accessed a gaming website, resulting in the business being unable to operate. Further fraud allegations relate to online shopping and ticket fraud.
