A gang of fraudsters stole £12,500 after fishing bank cards out of letterboxes using fly swatters covered in double-sided sticky tape.
They applied for the bank cards and pin numbers in the victims' names, then as they arrived in the post they pulled them back out if the letterbox.
Maidstone Crown Court heard Constantin Barbuc toured Maidstone’s “richest areas” targeting up to 10 victims in four months.
