A March woman was a victim of a violent and âdespicableâ rogue trader who took almost £30,000 for jobs he never started or didnât complete.
Wesley Theobald has been jailed for three years after targeting a large number of victims spread over a wide area including Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and London.
The roof repairs and home improvements were often defective, leaving some customers with many thousands of pounds in remedial costs.
This was one of the homes affected by Wesley Theobald s conduct (44671556)
Kingâs Lynn Crown Court heard on Thursday (25) that Theobald, who failed to declare that he was an undischarged bankrupt, took deposits, exaggerated work needed and left jobs half-done, refusing to return money when his customers complained.
