Brandon Woolveridge sentenced to over three years in prison for falsely claiming to have missing pets and demanding money for their safe return. Victims were threatened with harm or death to their pets if they refused to pay. Cumbria Police launched Operation Façade after receiving reports from across the country.
Brandon Woolveridge has been jailed for three years A man has been jailed for more than three years after blackmailing owners of missing pets – and falsely claiming that he had their animals. Brandon Woolveridge, 24, would contact posters on social media who were searching for their missing pets. Woolveridge then lied, telling the owners that he was in possession of the animals and demanding money for their safe return.
Detective Inspector Amanda Sykes, of Cumbria Police’s major incident team, said: ‘Woolveridge’s victims were already extremely distressed at the loss of their much loved pets, when he cruelly chose to prey on them. ‘He then made this ordeal even more traumatic by firstly raising their hopes that their pet would be returned, then frightening them into believing he would harm their pets if he did not get money.
