CONNOR TURNER

Verified case summary

Connor Turner, twenty-one, from Walton in Liverpool, received a sentence of a planned identity and computer-fraud operation.

Merseyside Police said he impersonated a pensioner, gained access to email and bank accounts and took seventy-one thousand pounds.

Investigators found Turner had changed his name by deed poll, opened accounts in the new name and created companies used in the scheme.

The victim's savings and pension payments were diverted, and another man's account lost six thousand three hundred pounds.

Turner faced thirty-three charges involving unauthorised computer access, fraud, criminal property and failure to disclose protected information.

Liverpool Crown Court sentenced him to four years and imposed a five-year Serious Crime Prevention Order.

Police said the stolen money funded purchases, meals and travel.
