Three individuals have been arrested in relation to two separate scam cases involving fraudulent claims of selling goods via Facebook marketplace. 

Police have disclosed the identities of these three individuals: Ali Affan, of Heenaage, N. Holhudhoo, Mohamed Hameed, of Plaza, N. Holhudhoo, and Hassaan Ali, of Venus, N. Velidhoo. 

Police said that Hassaan had interacted with an individual via Facebook marketplace on September 2, where he obtained MVR 30,000 from them with the false promise of selling a dinghy. 

Hassaan was arrested in Velidhoo last Sunday under a court order. The court has since placed him in remand in custody for 15 days, police said. 

Affan and Hameed were arrested for obtaining MVR 30,000 through Facebook marketplace under the guise of selling an engine. 

These two individuals were arrested last Saturday. The court has placed them both in remand in custody for 15 days, according to police. 

Police continue to investigate both cases.
