Brother and sister jailed

Posted by Emma Heseltine on Sep 3, 10 03:50 PM in News

A brother and sister have been sentenced within a week of each other for a string of fraud and theft offences.

Unemployed Andrew Aniakor, 29, of Hewer Street, North Kensington, was sentenced on Wednesday (1) to three years and two months in prison.

His sister, Angela Aniakor, 36, of Windermere Avenue, Wembley, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting theft, an offence under the Proceeds of Crime Act, and two Social Security offences.

All residents of Kensington and Chelsea should now have received a registration form for the Register of Electors.

These forms should be returned to the council as soon as possible, as the information is being used to put together the new register, which will be published on December 1.

If there are no changes to be made, residents can confirm this by phone, internet or text - the form only needs to be returned if changes have to be made.

The council will follow up by calling at properties who have not responded, at the end of this month.

Anyone who has not received a form should contact Electoral Services on 020 7361 3444 or email elect@rbkc.gov.uk.

Loizos Michalopoulos, of Silchester Road, had spoken to the PCSOs about anti-social behaviour in his street, and the pair made regular visits to his home to see how they could address the concerns.

But while talking to him, PCSOs Paulotto Castro and Nick Fletcher learned the pensioner was a keen gardener, but could not tend his garden as he would like anymore.

So the officers contacted Age Concern to see what help could be provided, and they subsequently arranged for a gardener to visit Mr Michalopoulos to help him work in the garden.

A conman who rented a town house in Chelsea using a fake identity before trying to sell it on has been jailed for three years.

Steven Rice, 43, from Basingstoke, Hampshire, offered the home in Donne Place for sale for £1m, less than half of its real value.

He was caught trying to withdraw money after the sale using a fake driving licence, Southwark Crown Court was told on Friday (27).

He admitted possession of a fake driving licence, a fake passport, and acquiring criminal property.

Rice was 'a front' for a gang who would rent expensive properties before attempting to sell them, and the court heard officers are trying to trace the rest of the gang.
