Two “cruel and cunning” fraudsters have been jailed for tricking elderly people out of £265,000 – including one who was scammed while at a funeral.

The devious fraudsters preyed on vulnerable and elderly people across London over a 10 week period from August to October last year, taking large sums and leaving them feeling “humiliated”, officers said.

They fooled one 85-year-old into giving them £28,250 over a three-day period, and stole a gold Rolex watch worth £20,850 from one victim aged 80.

The duo cheated their targets using a "particularly unpleasant" version of the notorious ‘courier fraud’ tactic.
