Cruel fraudsters who sold sick puppies to pay for high end cars and Mediterranean holidays have been locked up. Kelly Bennett and Stacey Hayward sobbed in the dock as they received jail term of 36 months and 47 months respectively.
A third defendant, Ricky Bennett, 41, was also imprisoned for 36 months. Their convictions came after an RSPCA and local authority investigation which was first launched in 2019.
As reported by Essex Live, complaints had been made about dogs being sold with severe illnesses. Some of the puppies sold to unsuspecting families later died from conditions such as parvovirus.
