Two people who deny fraud have surrendered their passports ahead of trial.

Pooi Ming Man and Gang Wang are accused of acting as “couriers” in an organised crime operation, Suffolk Magistrates’ Court heard on Thursday.

Man, 54, of Drew Close, Poole, denied fraud allegedly committed in Lowestoft between September 29 last year and February 13 this year. She also denied possessing criminal property described in court documents as “cash or gold”.

Wang, 36, of Waterloo Road, Uxbridge, denied committing fraud in Lowestoft on November 17 last year. He also denied possessing criminal property, listed as 16,000 in cash.

The court heard that the matter is being investigated by Suffolk Constabulary as part of a widespread organised crime group.

Wang and Man were granted bail before their next hearing at Ipswich Crown Court in November.

They were both ordered to surrender their passports in the meantime.
