Christopher Swift, 30, and Sebastian Jones, 35, blackmailed an innocent mum into paying them thousands of pounds
Two thugs blackmailed an innocent mum into paying them thousands of pounds worth of her ex's drug debt. Christopher Swift, 30 and Sebastian Jones, 35, were met by the woman's young son when they banged on her front door.
The court heard Jones, who acted as an "intermediary" to his "associates" remained silent throughout the interaction was tasked with collecting £15,000 after the victim's ex ran up a drug debt. Prosecuting, David Lees said the two men knocked on the victim's door at around 5pm and the woman's 12-year-old son answered.
Mr Lees told the court the victim was "worried for herself and her family" and scraped together £1,000 of her own money and £2,000 of her father's money and put it through Jones' letter box before reporting the incident to the police.
