A Scottish securities broker has been added to the FBI's "most wanted" list for his suspected involvement in a precious metals scam.

James Ward, 65, from Glasgow, is alleged to taken $400,000 (£314,000) from would-be investors in gold, silver and platinum.

The FBI say 12 or more people parted with money over a three year period, but no precious metals were ever supplied.

He went on the run after being charged in Florida with wire fraud in 2012, following the allegedly fraudulent transactions which took place between September 2007 and March 2010.
