A man stole £7,000 from a vulnerable victim in a two-year con, a court has heard.
Frank Thompson, 61, of Strand Road, Bootle, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to one count of fraud by false representation. Alaric Walmsley, prosecuting, detailed that between April 1, 2019, and August 11, 2021, Thompson conned a vulnerable victim out of £7,000.
In September 2020, a theft was reported to police by Rosemary Collins, the manager of a residential property where the victim - who the ECHO has chosen not to name - and Thompson lived. Ms Collins told police she had concerns regarding the possible financial abuse of a resident by another resident.
