THIS VIDEO IS DISTRESSING. ⚠️ On 5 January, 66-year-old John Coker gained access to old man home by pretending to be a fire alarm engineer. What happened next is captured on this video. I have wanted to share this for MONTHS. Believe me, keeping quiet while the legal process took its course has been incredibly difficult. Once the case was assigned to a detective, the Met Police identified and found Coker aged 66 and his younger brother — aged 60 — within 48 hours. I will forever be grateful for the work that went into finding them. The CPS made the decision to proceed with the burglary charge and drop the separate violence charge. Watch this video and decide for yourself how you feel about that decision !!!! we finally reached the end of another part of this nightmare: the Unduly Lenient Sentence appeal at the Court of Appeal. During proceedings, we heard about Coker’s drug use and the claim that he had been acting “under the influence”. This was a man with 172 previous offences, including 80 offences against vulnerable older people. My dad wasn’t the only elderly victim that day. Coker also attacked a 79-year-old woman that same day and an 84-year-old woman two days later. the judges agreed that an “error”had been made in the original sentencing. His sentence has now been increased from 4 years 8 months to 9 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS. Today, I can finally share it with person consent ! So please SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE. People need to see exactly what can happen when someone knocks on the door claiming to be an engineer or other trusted professional. Please show this to your elderly parents, grandparents, neighbours and anyone vulnerable who lives alone. As for John Coker, he is currently residing at HMP High Down — and after today, he’ll be residing at His Majesty’s pleasure for considerably longer. 9 years and 8 months.
