Two men and two women from Middlesbrough have been jailed after making false claims for gastric illness on a Canary Islands holiday.
Anthony Byng, 66, Barbara Byng, 64, Christopher Byng, 38, and Linda Lane, 36, travelled with Jet2 Holidays to the Hotel Paradise Lago Taurito all-inclusive property in Gran Canaria in November 2016.
After their holiday in the resort of Mogan, the four holidaymakers issued court proceedings for thousands of pounds in compensation, claiming their holiday had been ruined by gastric illness.
The four claimed that they, and the two children they were travelling with, had suffered stomach cramps, sickness, diarrhoea, headaches and hot and cold sweats. No mention of any illness was made at the time.
