A man is being hunted in connection with two alleged frauds worth almost £30m.

Daniel McDonagh, also known as Daniel Pomeroy, 23, from Oldham, is wanted by Greater Manchester Police’s Fraud Unit investigating an alleged scam in which the identities of high-profile businesses were hijacked and millions of pounds worth of goods fraudulently ordered.

Three people have already been charged in connection with this offence in which men claiming to be working for McDonald’s restaurants and other major companies allegedly called the sales departments of well-known electronics firms across the country.

It is claimed they ordered laptops, computers, and televisions on credit and arranged for them to be delivered to addresses in Manchester, where the goods were collected but never paid for.
It is alleged food, spirits and wine were also acquired the same way.

The nationwide fraud conspiracy is believed to be worth up to £20m.

McDonagh is also wanted for failing to answer court bail having been charged with a separate fraud offence relating to computers up to the value of £9m, which were purchased with false cheques between April 2 and 5  this year.
