THIS IS A WARNING AS LADY WORKING UNDER THIS NAME WAS ARRESTED FOR BLACKMAIL
A MAN and woman have pleaded not guilty to a charge of fraud which is said to be linked to an alleged fake kidnapping.
K aged 30, and Axxxx 37, jointly face one charge.
This alleges fraud and that they made a false representation to a man which they knew was, or might be untrue or misleading — namely that “Axxx had been kidnapped and monies were required to reimburse” Winder.
It is alleged that a four-figure sum of cash was involved.
K and Axxxx appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today (Monday). Both pleaded not guilty to the allegation which it was put to them in turn by a clerk.
K further denied two alleged assaults on emergency workers — a police constable and a police detention officer.
All charges arise out of alleged incidents which are said to have taken place on July 22 this year.
A trial in front of a jury was listed by Judge Nicholas Barker and is due to start on January 15, 2024.
