Watch: The moment Alex Wood was arrested

For more than 20 years, Alex Wood was a “hyper-prolific fraudster”, at his peak, calling up his victims pretending to be from the bank in order to steal vast sums of money.

Alex was undeterred even by several prison sentences, until one eye-opening, devastating day in court led him to turn his life around.

Now he helps the police, the banks and the public to better protect against criminals, as he once was, by sharing his knowledge with ѿý Radio 4's Scam Secrets.

This video, shared courtesy of the Metropolitan Police, shows the moment Alex was arrested by the National Crime Agency.
