William Tyrrell’s foster parents have been charged for allegedly getting someone to attend an auction and make fraudulent dummy bids on a home.
NSW Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the couple who cannot be named for legal reasons face one count each of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and will face court in October.Â
They are accused of getting a person to deliberately make fake bids on a Sydney property last December.
The charges are not related to their missing three-year-old foster child who was last seen wearing a Spider-Man suit in the garden of his foster grandmother’s home in Kendall on the NSW mid-north coast in 2014.Â

‘Strike Force Rosann detectives issued Future Court Attendance Notices (FCAN) to a 55-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman,’ police said in a statement.
‘It will be alleged in court the pair organised a third party to falsely bid for a property at an auction in December 2020.’
The maximum penalty for dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception is 10 years in prison.Â
They will face Hornsby Local Court on Thursday, October 20.
Detectives are continuing to investigate William’s baffling disappearance eight years after the suspected abduction rocked the nation.
William had been placed with the couple’s car in March 2012 and was driven to the Kendall home of his foster grandmother on Friday, September 11, 2014, for a short holiday.
He was last seen playing on the verandah of the secluded house on a dead-end street on the Saturday morning.
Multiple widespread searches in the surrounding area failed to find any trace of him.

Last November, a new and extensive search for William’s remains at the small community began.
Police, SES and rural fire workers along with detectives from Strike Force Rosann spent four weeks late last year digging up a section of forest less than a kilometre from the house where William vanished.
Combing bushland and digging with excavators, police scoured Batar Creek Road, for William’s remains and scraps from the Spider Man suit he was last seen wearing.
The foster mother and father denied any involvement in William’s disappearance and no charges have ever been laid against any person.

The young boy’s foster parents appeared in court in November over a separate case where they pleaded not guilty to assaulting a ten-year-old girl. Â
William’s foster mother faced court in June over allegedly hitting the girl with a wooden spoon and kicking her on the floor causing ‘pain and bruising’.
Her partner was also accused of grabbing the girl around the neck to restrain her.
The foster mother was refused an application to have her charges heard on mental health grounds.Â
A forensic psychology report tendered to the court said the foster mother had been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In April, the couple were charged for knowingly giving false or misleading information to a NSW Crime Commission hearing about William Tyrrell’s disappearance.
