Families were left without running water and unable to cook

The 56-year-old even ripped out the kitchen of a couple who were weeks away from having a baby and ran away without refitting it.
Brown, who lived in Bristol, boasted about having over 25 years of experience carrying out “quality, fully guaranteed kitchen installations in and around the South West and Wales”.
The dad went on holidays and his wife posted glam pics of their adventures after he left the lives of other families in tatters.
Brown was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court for 19 counts of theft.
Charges were also brought against his wife Nina, who was listed as a company director at the time, but the case against her was formally discontinued in court last week.
