A fraudster who fleeced unsuspecting caravan buyers out of more than £50,000 has been jailed for three years.
Gavin Pearson, 52, was the general manager at Coquet View Caravan Park, in Warkworth, when he carried out the unauthorised sale of caravans in 2017.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the crook convinced the victims to make cash payments for purchasing caravans, with many forced to make further payments to the site's owners after his scam came to light.
