NSW man charged with mortgage fraud

A man has been charged after a nine-year investigation targeting organised mortgage fraud across NSW.

The 41-year-old man was arrested in Katoomba on Monday after helping organise a $460,000 home loan application using false documents, police said.

The man is allegedly part of an organised syndicate within the finance industry.

He has been charged with making false statements to obtain money and granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court in November.

The Strike Force has previously arrested and charged 18 people with more than 100 offences in relation to fraudulently obtaining $16 million worth of loans.
