Investigators used data from the GPS tag Ambrose Treeby was wearing whilst on licence from prison, to prove he had stolen cash from two vulnerable victims.

In November 2022, a woman in her 90s living near Wrotham Road, Borough Green noticed £20,000 had been withdrawn from her bank account without her knowledge. She enquired with her bank and discovered a cheque had been presented at a branch in Tonbridge earlier that year, and the funds transferred to Treeby’s account. The victim could not recall meeting Treeby and the incident was reported to the police. Investigators later found he had swiftly made several large cash withdrawals once the cheque had cleared.
