Pamela Gwinnett is jailed after a fraud in which she stole £300,000 from a vulnerable pensioner before fleeing to Tenerife. According to reports, Gwinnett posed as a carer while accessing the life savings of Joan Green, who is described as an elderly and vulnerable woman. The court imposes a custodial sentence of six years and two months. The Independent reports that her sentence is increased at Preston Crown Court on Monday, while The Mirror says she is sentenced following the earlier fraud and her subsequent flight to Spain. Both accounts describe the same core allegation and outcome: Gwinnett takes money from the pensioner under the guise of care, amassing about £300,000, and then leaves the UK for Tenerife. After the sentencing, she is committed to custody to serve the prison term imposed by the court. The reports do not add details about how the money is taken beyond impersonating a carer and raiding savings.
