Two accomplices who played “damsels in distress” in a car theft conspiracy have dodged jail.
Rachael Bennett, 36, and Molly Kerr, 20, were both found to have done groundwork for a scammer to break into vehicles in Leeds. In separate incidents, they lied to innocent locksmiths in attempts to get access to expensive cars. The plan was for ringleader Kyle Bucknall, 32, to drive away in the stolen vehicles. But their efforts were thwarted when some of the locksmiths realised what was going on. The women were arrested and both pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to steal motor vehicles.
In the fourth of those her efforts were thwarted by a locksmith who realised what was happening and phoned the police in September of last year. Mitigating for Bennett, Rukshanda Hussain argued that pressure was put on her to become involved and that she has since expressed remorse. Kerr, of King Edward Avenue, Horsforth, was involved in just one incident. She told a locksmith in August of last year that she needed a key for her grandfather.
