A woman who stole nearly £75,000 from her grandad is just one of many criminals to have come before Liverpool's courts after committing crimes against family members.
Olivia Crutchley described her grandad as her best friend, but she conned him over the course of 18 months to fund her drug addiction. Crutchley, 23, bombarded the pensioner with a slew of fake emails purporting to be from lawyers and the Citizens Advice Bureau.
She had invented a legal battle with B&Q and was billing her grandad for supposed solicitors fees. She apparently attempted to sue her former employer, despite having never actually worked for the DIY giant.
