A criminal couple who got married behind bars avoided further jail time over a series of thefts from cars.
Wayne Titley, who got hitched to Carol Locke while the pair were in prison, purloined purses and wallets from cars in Telford, before using stolen cash cards to buy McDonald's food, go shopping and fund online betting accounts.
Another of Titley's victims woke on January 15 last year to a number of text messages saying her bank card had been used to pay a betting company and Tesco. She checked her car and discovered her purse was missing. Transactions in the region of £1,300 had taken place, and later that month the victim received an Argos card bill in the post for £490.
When the pair were arrested, Titley, of Crescent Road, Hadley, Telford,"told lots of lies and made an extensive denial," prosecuting lawyer Harinderpal Dhami told the court.Locke, of Arleston Brook, Telford, gave a no comment interview. Mr Davenport added that Locke, who also has had substance misuse problems, is"completely drug free" after her time in custody.
