Have you ever done anything criminal to fund a spending spree? Most sensible people wouldn’t of course.
So what was going through the mind of the school governor’s wife who has been jailed for spending £3,000 on other people’s credit cards buying things like lingerie, clothes and horse riding equipment! Using card details from two ladies she had met at a school fund raiser the lady in question embarked on the fraud and has paid heavily for it with an eight month jail sentence.
Hertford Magistrates Court said that she had “robbed Peter to pay Paul” when her husband fell ill and she was struggling to pay the mortgage.
Her husband added: “The victims are all people that she knows. To expect to get away with it is beyond me. In a close-knit village like Widford it has caused great consternation. Some people have completely ostracised her. “It’s going to be awful, it’s not going to be a very happy village.”
