Another arrest over alleged A4e fraud

An eighth arrest has been made as police continue to investigate allegations of fraud in connection with A4e, relating to the welfare-to-work firm's Slough branch.

The 19-year-old woman was arrested by appointment at a police station in Berkshire yesterday morning.

She was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and bailed until July.

Four people arrested in January, two men aged 35 and 41, and two women aged 28 and 49, and a 35-year-old woman arrested in March, have also been released on bail until various dates in late May and June.

A 33-year-old man arrested in April is on bail until June and a 24-year-old woman arrested last week is on bail until July.

The investigation remains ongoing.
