Man arrested for allegedly selling more than 500 fake coronavirus testing kits on the dark web
A man has been arrested for allegedly selling more than 500 fake coronavirus testing kits online, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.
The 38-year old from Birmingham, who was detained on Tuesday under the Fraud Act 2006, is thought to have supplied the kits to people in the UK and the US.
He reportedly sold some of the suspected fake tests on the dark web.
NCA officers found what they believe to be cocaine and heroin at the man's home, and business cards which they are now examining.
A 36-year-old is also being sought in connection with the fraud.
