There's definitely more to that story than has been presented.
If it really was just a "few hundred pounds" I doubt it would even get to court, never mind result in a raid six months after the event.2 -
Yes probably but it was 13years ago when she was very young and now she seems to be helping to educate young, vulnerable girls who may also not know much about this type of crime and may also unwittingly get involved. So good for her0

A one off few hundred quid wouldn't even get flagged up by the bank (unless the senders account was flagged up for being dodgy)0
