Description

40-year-old handyman, Simon Appleby, from Letton in Bucknell, was jailed for three years for stealing £100,000 from an elderly woman while she was dying in hospital. Appleby, who started as her cleaner, gained her trust and was given access to her online banking. Over two years, he transferred £41,000 to himself, including £15,000 just hours before her death. He initially claimed the money was for materials, but later admitted to fraud. Detective Constable Emily Cooke described it as a calculated betrayal, warning others not to exploit the vulnerable.
