A FRAUDSTER who stole mail from letterboxes of homes in Somerset to fund a lavish lifestyle has been jailed.
Kevin Castle, 46, of West Buckland, near Wellington, was sent to prison for four years at Exeter Crown Court on Wednesday afternoon (April 4).
Castle had admitted 26 charges of fraud, one count of theft and one of acquiring criminal property.
At an earlier hearing, a court had heard how Castle was caught when one of his victims became suspicious and set up CCTV, which caught him in the act (see video below).
