MAN JAILED FOR FRAUD

 A man has been jailed for 9 months for fraud after taking £4,450 for work he did not carry out. Frederick Buck, 22, of Castle View, Newark, called at a house in Draycott and asked the occupier if she wanted her conifers and trees cutting back. She agreed and paid him £250 but this soon became £450. He then offered to do more work and drove her to the Lloyds Bank in Long Eaton three times on the same day where she withdrew a total of £4,000. He took the money but did none of the work. He was arrested a month later after police traced his van. He pleaded guilty to fraud.
