A 'cold and calculating' husband and wife team who were part of a band of rogue traders have been jailed after defrauding elderly residents out of almost £400,000.
Police said after a sentencing hearing that the victims were 'made to feel unsafe in their own homes' and 'left in fear of what would happen if they didn't pay'.
Andrew Lovell, 43, Madeline Lovell, 41, and Kevin Brown, 61, held their victims 'to ransom', a court was told, while carrying out substandard work on homes that wasn't necessary.
