A callous thief stole luxury items from gym-goers' lockers as they worked out - then defrauded them out of thousands of pounds.
Nicholas Hughes targeted unsuspecting victims as they used luxury spa and gym facilities across the country - including sites in Cheshire and Lancashire.
A court heard how the 51-year-old struck at 11 sites between February 2023 and June 2024. Hughes was finally rumbled after police were told that a watch, bank cards and driving licence had been stolen from a victim's locker at Craxton Wood Hotel and Spa, in Chester, on June 13.
