Two fraudsters have been jailed for conning an elderly Poole couple out of more than a thousand pounds.

In February last year - Joby Barney and Lisa-Jayne Robottom fooled the two pensioners into paying out for unnecessary drainage repairs at their house - and never returned to complete any work.

Barney - from Ferndown - was also convicted of burgling a 76 year old woman in Bournemouth in 2010.

The 53 year old's been sentenced to five years in jail while Robottom, who's 41, will spend a year behind bars.
