POLICE arrested five people after raiding a village shop they suspect is the hub of a credit card scam.

Ten officers stormed the Londis store, in Hurst Green Road, at 9am last Friday, seizing equipment from the shop before arresting three men aged 18, 24, and 37, and a 32-year-old woman from Oxted.

They also arrested a 23-year-old man from London and questioned all five in connection with fraud during the weekend before releasing them on bail while the investigation continues.

Officers spent Friday scouring the shop for evidence,turning away puzzled villagers approaching the store for groceries, and a group of refuse collectors who came to clear the rubbish.
