An alleged scam that threatened a 65-year-old woman into handing over about $70,000 could be part of a larger international crime syndicate, police have said.
In a statement on Thursday, ACT Policing said a 28-year-old man, of Harrison, has been arrested after a woman was allegedly threatened into handing over the cash.
"The woman begun paying a man in November after she was contacted by an unknown number alleging she had an outstanding debt to the 'NCA'," police said.
