A psychic’s tarot cards and crystal balls were seized by police after she was accused of being involved in a crime group that allegedly scammed multiple people out of their savings.
Tina Montana, 47, was arrested in Sydney, Australia, and was hit with 13 charges, including identity theft, money laundering, participating in an organized crime group and fraud, as reported by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Police alleged that Montana and at least two other people, ages 48 and 49, were involved in a crime syndicate that has been operating in the city since 2006, as reported by 9News.
“Police will allege the syndicate were claiming to be psychics and during that process with the victims they were encouraging them to provide them with property and money, which they have obviously kept,” Detective Inspector Craig Brooks said, as reported by 7News.
“[They have] not returned it in breach of what the victims would have expected when engaging these services … these matters have caused significant financial and emotional distress,” Brooks continued.
