Two builders jailed after £1.3 million fraud
Ordinary people had their lives ruined and homes were left in disrepair by cowboy builders demanding large sums. In April, Samuel O’Hanlon, 45, and Jack Sargeant, 29, were convicted on charges of fraud and money laundering after swindling over £1.3 million. O’Hanlon was sentenced to ten years in prison, and Sargeant's incarceration lasted almost six years.
