Conman drives over 100 miles to Leeds to try and swipe £2k of Apple gadgets

A conman attempted to trick a Leeds O2 shopkeeper into giving him almost £2,000-worth of Apple products.

Kevin Treen, 57, from Wolverhampton, ended up leaving empty handed. He tried to dupe an O2 salesperson in Briggate into thinking he was going to pay for a new iPhone and iPad he wanted 'for his missus' after inventing a fake name.

He was found out when the shop's boss spotted the man was using a fake passport. Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how Treen travelled from the Black Country to visit the O2 city centre shop at about 10.30am on February 10.
