Appeal judges have overturned the convictions of two brothers accused of conning customers at what they claimed was a Lapland-style theme park on the Hampshire-Dorset border.

The convictions were deemed unsafe after the court heard that one of the jurors at the men's trial should have been discharged - for exchanging text messages with her fiancee.

67-year-old Victor Mears, and Henry who's 60, were jailed for 13 months in March this year and have both now served their sentences.
