It comes as the third arrest in an “ongoing and complex” investigation into “fraudulent insurance claims for high performance vehicles”, police said.
Two suspects were arrested at Birmingham Airport last week as part of the same investigation.
They have also been released on police bail while “enquiries are completed” and a case can be built to provide evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service.
If the service decides there is sufficient evidence and grounds to take the men to caught, they could be charged with a criminal offence.
