OPERATION HENHOUSE - Month of Action #FightingFraud


Good afternoon,

In a change to our usual fraud alerts, we’re delighted to report our Operation Henhouse successes. 

February 2025 saw the fourth national month of action known as Operation Henhouse, bringing together our own Economic Crime Team with colleagues from across the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary area to fight fraud.

We are delighted that our efforts warranted a special mention in the National Crime Agency’s report:
