11. Daniel Barden
Barden was jailed after threatening members of the public with an imitation shotgun in a Northampton park. The 34-year-old, previously of Derwent Drive, ordered a man to kneel down with the ‘gun’ just inches away from his head and pointed it at a woman — pulling the trigger so it made a ‘click’ sound — but later claimed to have been carrying a water pistol. Northampton Crown Court heard he had 17 previous court appearances, including for kidnapping, affray and burglary. Barden pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and was sentenced to two years, six months. Photo: Northamptonshire Police
12. Daniel Cuthbert
Cuthbert, 42, pretended to be his dead mother in order to drain £56,000 from his grieving father’s bank over a 14-month period. He also drew up loans in his father's name — leading to his dad losing his home as a result of debts he knew nothing about. Cuthbert, formerly of Warwick Avenue, Stanion, was jailed for two years for fraud at Preston Crown Court. Photo: Northamptonshire Police
