Melbourne fraud case widens police probe into sham settlers
A Melbourne lodging house tale exposes a bold swindle by O'Brien Mullins and Dryer as they fled with clothing cash and two deceptive bills.

The case links to a prior prison escape and a broader pattern of dodgy dealings, while local officials warn against similar schemes and discuss legal remedies.
