A pensioner who conned elderly caravanners out of nearly £350,000 to prop up her failing business has been jailed for 12 months.
Motorhome dealer Christine Galloway left numerous victims thousands of pounds out of pocket by selling on their vans and keeping the cash. Galloway, 68, spent two years acting as a broker to dupe motorhome owners into handing over their vehicles for her to sell on.
Sheriff Alistair Carmichael said: "You pled guilty to a serious offence in which you obtained almost £350,000 by fraud over a 21-month period. Several victims of the fraud were elderly people who had put their trust in you to act honestly. Your business at one time was well-run and respected.
