'Deceptive' criminals jailed for stealing £75,000

Graham Bradley and Ann Park were jailed for stealing from a vulnerable man

Two "extremely deceptive" criminals who stole £75,000 from a vulnerable man over a five-year period have been jailed.

Ann Park, 56, of Woodlands Drive, Hull, took control of the victim's finances before taking the money for herself, Humberside Police said.

She later shared the stolen money with 57-year old Graham Bradley, also of Woodlands Road.

They were each sentenced at Hull Crown Court on Friday to 25 months in prison.

At a hearing in December, Bradley pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing criminal property and Park pleaded guilty to possessing criminal property and two counts of theft.

The pair also pleaded guilty to a total of three counts of transferring criminal property.

Humberside Police's Helen Shackleton described Park and Bradley as "extremely deceptive criminals".

She added: "I am pleased to see that they are now going to spend time behind bars, unable to harm other members of the community."
