Helen Shackleton, the officer in the case, stated that Park and Bradley are “extremely deceptive criminals”.

She said they targeted the vulnerable victim and “conned him out of a large amount of money to benefit themselves”.

Officer Shackleton said: “Park abused her position of trust and pretended she had been gifted the money from the victim for her assistance.

“I am pleased to see that they are now going to spend time behind bars, unable to harm other members of the community."

Officer Shackleton expressed hope that the sentencing serves as a reminder that authorities will take action against people who exploit vulnerable individuals.
