Lyne Barlow carried out one of the biggest frauds ever investigated by Durham Police - and told people she had a terminal illness while she committed her crimes.

She initially targeted her own family and friends and used their savings before setting up a travel agency, in which she fraudulently sold holidays.

Many of her 1,400 victims discovered the holidays they bought through her business were never booked or paid for by her. He also paid around £700 for a week in Malta for himself and his wife Julie for their 27th wedding anniversary. The holiday was on sale for half the price being offered by a well-known travel operator, he said.

The industry source said Barlow"did much untold damage to local travel agents who simply could not compete at the unrealistic prices".

Andrew Barlow: Serial rapist due to be released despite appealAndrew Barlow, jailed in 1988, is set to be released despite an appeal by the justice secretary. That's how prison sentences work. If you want rape to be ineligible for parole, make that the law. And then actually prosecute some cases, because the vast majority of rapists get of scot free. I wonder how much publicity this will get from the people who have recently become aware of safety for women? These bastards have got too many rights haven't they ? Need tougher sentences. Should never walk the streets again.
