Investigators have identified Pamela Gwinnett, accused of stealing £300,000, a substantial amount from a pensioner in Chorley, Lancashire. She fled to Spain before disappearing. Spanish authorities now plan to return her to the UK for the fraud charge, after months of cross‑border police work jointly. Gwinnett had evaded capture for a short time since leaving the UK in early 2025. The case began with early reports of her targeting senior citizens before her abrupt departure. Lancashire Constabulary recently confirmed her repatriation on Friday.
