The Manx police force said it's pleased after money was returned to a scam victim from the Isle of Man.

Yesterday (Wednesday) Northamptonshire Police revealed they had arrested four people after a 76-year-old woman from the island posted a parcel of cash.

However, she reported the matter to police after becoming suspicious.

The Manx Constabulary worked with the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance to investigate.

They contacted officers in the UK, and say they're really pleased with the result.
