The detectives were supported by Cheshire Constabulary’s Economic Crime Unit.

Emmiline Burdon, of Riverdale Road, Manchester; Lyndsey Burdon, of Brynorme Road, Manchester; Sarah Burdon, of Evesham Road, Manchester; and Malhi, of Hobson Crescent, Audenshaw, Greater Manchester; have all subsequently been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud along with a number of other offences.
