Police have been hauled in after fraudsters stole £700,000 from the Royal Mint.
Chiefs were alerted to the mysterious online heist after a series of suspicious transactions from their website - which sells a range of previous jewellery and metals.The highest value item currently available for sale is a limited edition set of one hundred 1oz gold bullion coins, depicting Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Britannia on the other, which retails at £163,244.55.
Treasury Minister Andrew Griffith admitted that a "small number" of fraudulent transactions were made on their website. "That is also why many modern crime gangs are swapping their shotguns and getaway cars for computers and cloned credit cards.Thornberry hit out after the crime was revealed."We urgently need a Labour government that will treat fraud with the seriousness it deserves and protect our businesses, public services and communities against the criminals responsible."
