WATCH POLICE ARREST MAN OVER HAY BALE SCAM

A man has been arrested over a widespread hay bale scam targeting farmers in drought-stricken communities across NSW.

Earlier this week, police launched Strike Force Woden to investigate reports a man was advertising hay bales for a discounted price on social media.

It’s believed the man took initial deposits but failed to deliver the final product.

A number of people, from all over the state, have lost money as a result of  the fraudulent sales with victims reported in the Mid North Coast, the Hunter Valley, the Southern Highlands, the Hills, and the Oxley, Nepean and Port Stephens areas.

Police nabbed the 27-year-old in Villawood this morning.

He was taken to nearby Fairfield Police Station where he’s expected to be charged.
