A man who was extradited from Western Australia is the fourth person to be arrested over a roofing scam that allegedly targeted elderly Sydney residents.
The 31-year-old was arrested at an airport on January 22, the fourth person to be charged over the alleged racket since December.
Police will allege a group of men posing as tradesmen last month swindled a 91-year-old Double Bay man out of $150,000 for work to be carried out on his home.
They also tried to trick a 75-year-old Annandale woman out of $62,000 to finish work on her home, prompting her to alert police.
Two men, 29 and 32, and a 27-year-old woman were arrested in Sydney in December and detectives seized $40,000 in cash from a Bondi Junction hotel.
All four arrested are before the courts, charged with various offences including participating in a criminal group.
The man who was extradited from Western Australia is due to face the Central Local Court today.
