Two people who previously ran a business in Tywardreath are facing multiple fraud charges. One of them is accused of misleading villagers into believing she would donate £1 million of personal assets to support a local scheme.
Josh Taylor, 36, of Prestwick Lane, Grayswood, Hazelmere, and Trudy Thompson, 55, of Henley Fort Bungalows, The Mount, Guildford, have received a number of fraud charges relating to the time they ran a business in Tywardreath near Par.
The charges include Taylor allegedly committing fraud by false representation to obtain £33,200 from Par Bay Big Local, which he claimed would be used for a bike hire business and an entrepreneurial training course.
Thompson is alleged to have made false representations to villagers in Tywardreath that she intended to donate £1 million of her personal assets to support the Tywardreath Village Scheme. She is also accused of making false representations to obtain a loan, claiming she had a trust fund and owned two houses in Guildford, which was untrue, and intending to expose a woman to the risk of losing £20,000.
They will stand trial at Truro Crown Court on September 7. The hearing is estimated to take place over a number of weeks.
