Heywood man charged with conspiring to defraud

Date published: 03 February 2010


Johnathan Petrie, 44 from Heywood, is one of six men charged with conspiracy to defraud an East Lancashire company.

He was charged and bailed until the 22 February 2010.

The men were charged as a result of a protracted investigation by Nelson CID following a complaint from Protec PLC which is a fire detection equipment company based in Nelson.

The charges also include conspiracy to defraud another company, the Mandale Group, which is a property development company based in the North East of England.

DI Groombridge said, “We will always robustly investigate any allegation of fraud.

“Our investigations have resulted in six people being charged at this time but this is certainly not the end of the investigation and this may result in further charges in the future.”
