A man has been arrested in Stoke Newington after allegedly taking £90,000 from a breast cancer charity into his own account.

The man, 28, has been under arrest today (June 25) by City of London Police officers on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position and money laundering.

Officers have been investigating allegations of the large sum of cash being diverted from a charity, which is unnamed, into a personal account.

A City of London Police spokesperson has said while the force cannot share information as to where the arrest took place, the man was interviewed and released under investigation.

As part of the investigation, an Alexander Brown ring has been seized by police.
