Scottish caravan park in fraud case

Enquiries began after investors paid almost £10,000 for a caravan they did not own

A Scottish caravan park is at the centre of a fraud investigation after police began enquires over discrepancies with a cheque.

Two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with the alleged fraud at Lossiemouth’s Silver Sands Caravan Park.

Police began their enquires last August after investors in a caravan reported that they had paid almost £10,000 for a caravan, but later found that it did not belong to them.

There have also been other alleged cases of mobile homes being sold without the owners’ consent or knowledge.

The site is owned by Green Parks and director Deepak Johar revealed that the firm has been helping in the matter.

“We will continue to assist police as much as is necessary in the case,” he told the Press and Journal.

The three people arrested in connection with the allegations are set to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court today (February 8th).

According to the Silver Sands website, the park offers “miles of beautiful unspoilt sandy beaches” with rare seabirds and rock pools full of wildlife.
