URTU investigated by Greater Manchester Police

Seven men have been arrested and released on bail after co-ordinated arrests for fraud offences relating to LGV licences and the Driver CPC.

The operation, conducted by Greater Manchester Police’s Volume Fraud unit in conjunction with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), also saw a warrant executed at the United Road Transport Union (URTU) HQ in Stanley Green Business Park, Cheadle Hulme.

Seven men, aged between 42 and 62, were arrested by officers from Greater Manchester Police, as well as officers from Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire forces, on suspicion of fraud by false representation.

Greater Manchester Police told Commercialmotor.com that all seven had now been released on bail.

URTU was unavailable for comment.
