Two more British nationals accused of roof scams, bringing total to five

Another two British nationals wanted in connection to a series of incidents throughout the country late last year have been arrested.

The men, aged 29 and 58, were arrested at Christchurch Airport last night.

Another one of the British nationals , a 26-year-old man accused of being involved in a roofing scam, pleaded not guilty in Auckland District Court on Friday, as well as another 25-year-old man who has been remanded in custody without plea at his appearance. 

A fifth man, 26-year-old James Nolan, was also charged but is accused of having  skipped the country because of a blunder by border staff.

The 29-year-old man arrested today is facing two charges under the Immigration Act, after allegedly assisting a wanted person in leaving the country.

The 58-year-old has been charged in relation to obtaining by deception and using a forged document.

Both men are due to appear in the Christchurch District Court today.
