They have all been sentenced for carrying out their sometimes sophisticated scams

Day after day, innocent people across Yorkshire are targeted and conned out of their hard-earned money by sophisticated scammers wanting to make a quick buck.

Rebecca Stephens Prolific thief Stephens was put behind bars at Sheffield Crown Court this month after she donned a blonde wig, stole from a house and then sold the homeowner their own items. Burkevica made repeated assurances that she would pay back the stolen cash to the Latvian Lutheran Church through an insurance claim, but at the time of sentencing only £150 had been repaid. She was jailed for 18 months.James Harrington Prolific offender Harrington was jailed in June for using the bank card that was stolen from a man during a robbery undertaken by convicted murderer Aiden Ramsdale.Harrington was caught on CCTV in a takeaway using the card and was jailed for for 22 weeks.

In December 2020, the owner of the business began receiving emails from utility companies and providers about unpaid bills. At first, Stevenson explained the lack of funds as being down to guests failing to turn up due to Covid restrictions. The victim was told there had been suspicious activity on his account which required a replacement bank card. On that same day, Molloy attended the victim's home address and collected his bank card, which was immediately used at an ATM in Wetherby to withdraw £300.00 before it was used at the Apple Store at Meadowhall in Sheffield to purchase nearly £8,000 worth of goods.
