About Fraud Squad

Fraud Squad ended on December 12, 1970, on ITV1. The series ran for two seasons before concluding its run. It was a police procedural drama that depicted the work of the Fraudulent Crimes Squad of the Metropolitan police force based at New Scotland Yard, focusing on their efforts to combat various forms of financial crime.

The show followed Detective Inspector Gamble and Detective Sergeant Vicky Hicks as they investigated cases involving con artists, embezzlers, and forgers, often balancing their professional duties with personal challenges.
