Illusory mother scam leads to police arrest at Union Hall
At Union Hall yesterday Harvey alias Dawes faced Mr Trail on a charge of obtaining money from Samuel Dawes under false pretences. A forged tale of a long lost mother lured Dawes to pay for a supposed defense through Hatton Garden solicitors. The supposed mother proved not to be Dawes's parent, and the young man summoned a police officer, leading to the prisoner’s detention. The court heard a singular sequence of deception involving a note from a non existent mother, a prison interview, and a staged family reunion near Kent Road. The prisoner offered no defence beyond a lengthy, implausible family history.
