Two fraudsters who posed as DPD workers for a delivery scam worth more than £8,000 have each been jailed for more than a year.
Adekoya Adefowora, 38, and Deborah Oyeniyi, 23, were sentenced for seven counts of fraud by false representation at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday, having admitted the offences at an earlier hearing on March 6.
Posing as parcel service workers, complete with DPD uniform and order books, the pair visited homes in Colchester, Felixstowe and Ipswich on May 6, 12 and 13 last year.
Prosecutor Steven Attridge said they claimed to be retrieving wrongly delivered electronics, which had all been purchased on finance from electrical retailer AO via an untraceable IP address.
