Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Authorities in Australia have arrested two women, including one claiming to be a fortune teller, who are accused of scamming more than $46 million from vulnerable members of the Oceania nation's Vietnamese community.
The women, ages 53 and 25, were arrested Wednesday as police executed a search warrant at a residence in Dover Heights, an eastern cliffside suburb of Sydney.
The New South Wales Police Force published video of the arrests on their social media accounts, showing the two women, whose faces were blurred, handcuffed and being escorted from a residence into the back of a police van.
Financial Crimes Squad detectives have charged two women for their alleged involvement in a highly sophisticated multi-million-dollar fraud and money laundering syndicate operating across Sydney.
