Two men have been charged over fraudulent COVID-19 grants and drug supply offences on the state’s Central Coast.

Cybercrime detectives have uncovered multiple alleged frauds against NSW Government COVID-19 related grant schemes.

A 30-year-old Mardi man and a 39-year-old man have been charged, with police alleging the younger man submitted fraudulent COVID-19 JobSaver and business grant applications and facilitated fraudulent applications on behalf of others.

He’s also been accused of supplying illegal drugs, including methylamphetamine.

The 39-year-old allegedly falsely claimed he had tested positive for COVID-19, subsequently forcing the closure of multiple businesses on the state’s Central Coast last month.
