PHOENIX (AP) - Scottsdale police say a man suspected of defrauding nearly 70 people out of about $2.5 million in cash and property has been arrested. Robert Huillier was taken into custody Tuesday in connection with an outstanding warrant. Police say they believe the 48-year-old Huillier used his antique appraisal business as a guise to deceive his victims. He's thought to have taken property on consignment and not paid the victims, in addition to persuading them to invest large sums of money on an estate investment scam. Huillier had been in hiding for about a year as the Scottsdale Police Department of Fraud unit investigated him. Huillier remains jailed on $100,000 bond on suspicion of three counts of fraud schemes and five counts of felony theft. ___ Information from: The Arizona Republic, http://www.azcentral.com Copyright 2009 Associated Press.
