'Financial exploitation of this elderly man was a callous series of events'

Woman and accomplice targeted man, 75 after being 'evicted' from their own house

CALLOUS couple Jack Insley and Jenna Holland set up home in a pensioner’s house - where his phone was stolen and more than £4,000 transferred from his bank account.

Police say they worked together to pocket thousands of pounds from the 75-year-old in the run-up to Christmas. Now Insley, of Fenton, and Holland, of Stone, are in prison.

They are said to have been given £1,000 by the pensioner while they lived there, then refused to leave when he asked them to.

But their antics were rumbled in December after a friend of the victim rang 999 to say they believed he was being exploited.
