Woman who stole £300k from pensioner before Sky News tracked her down in Tenerife is jailed
The former carer was also ordered to repay £350,180 after a court said she used the widow’s savings for Botox, meals and a luxury car.
- After 16 months on the run, Pamela Gwinnett appeared in Preston Crown Court and was sentenced to six years in prison for stealing nearly £300,000 from pensioner Joan Green.
- Posing as a carer, Gwinnett isolated Mrs Green from her family and plundered her savings, treating the pensioner as "her own personal cash cow" for Botox, luxury meals, and a car.
- Using a second passport, Gwinnett fled to Tenerife after the court rejected her bail variation. Judge Maher remained "rightly sceptical," stating "no evidence" supported her claim about a deceased brother.
- David Bolton, grandson of Mrs Green, said the family is "relieved" to see Gwinnett imprisoned, though his grandmother died under her control. Bolton added they can now move forward with their lives.
- A Proceeds of Crime hearing ordered Gwinnett to pay £350,180 to Mrs Green's family, with authorities seizing property to recover the stolen funds.
