A man has been charged this week on suspicion of conning money out of people going to synagogue.
Police confirmed Bradley Silver, 40, of Gainsborough Road, Finchley, was charged yesterday with fraud by false representation.
A letter was sent to members of Borehamwood and Elstree Synagogue, in Croxdale Road, last week, warning of a con man approaching people who claimed to be working for Elstree Studios and asking for loans.
It is also thought he targeted members of Edgware Synagogue.
In the letter Anthony Arnold, chairman of the Borehamwood synagogue said: “The purpose of this message is to put you on your guard and while we would not want to suggest you do not offer hospitality to visitors please take extra care in your dealings and with your possessions.”
