Police said there had been a number of reports made to them about the business this week."Police will assess the reports to determine if any crimes were committed," a police spokeswoman said on Friday. Students from Brighton Grammar, Trinity, St Kevin College, Haileybury and Melbourne Grammar had also invested in the online fashion startup, The Herald Sun reports. Trinity headmaster Michael Davies said some of his students paid very small amounts, but the school had been able to recover the money."We were aware in term one this year that Trinity boys had been approached to invest in this scheme run by a boy at another school," Dr Davies told the Herald Sun."Money did change hands, but when we became aware of it the school acted very firmly and quickly to ensure we shut this down."The student parents have reportedly paid back the money lost in the business.© AAP 2015Victoria Crime Email your news tips Do you have any news photos or videos Property news: Signal box for rent in Bendigo - realestate.com.au Motoring news: New BMW 7 Series won’t park itself in Oz yet - carsales.com.au Property news: Why buy a hobby farm - news: Rolls-Royce Ghost II review - carsales.com.au
