A rogue roofer fleeced more than £100,000 from elderly and vulnerable customers after stripping roofs before demanding more money.
The work he carried out was also found to be unneeded and "unequivocally appalling". Cornelius Price, 42, carried out the fraudulent business which saw him targeting 17 victims who were "grossly overcharged" for work on their properties, which were often left shoddy or unfinished, between March 2019 and September 2021 in Swansea.
A sentencing hearing at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday heard Price traded under the names A Plan Roofing and Cymru Roofing, but would give customers a false name due to his previous convictions for fraud, according to Wales Online.
