A man has been jailed for two years after a court was told how he defrauded his father out of his life savings by transferring up to £56,000 into his own bank account.

Daniel Cuthbert, aged 42, targeted his father, who lived in Northamptonshire, over a period of 14 months in 2017-18 by moving large sums of money out of his account, in one case his father’s entire redundancy pay-out.

Preston Crown Court was told Cuthbert made multiple telephone banking calls purporting to be his father, and on at least nine occasions also rang to make transfers while putting on a female voice and pretending to be his mother who had died a few months before the fraud began.
