The pair, both living in Grace Path, Sydenham, showed up at Woolwich Crown Court on February 23. They pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud. Between May 28 and July 20, 2019, they used Amanda’s bank cards to withdraw cash and buy items, including drinks.

The couple has been released on unconditional bail pending the trial.
