A Horsham man was among a gang who duped hundreds of people out of nearly £8 million in savings and pensions during a precious metals investment scam.

The gang cold-called customers with scripted patter and placed ads using a misleading website and inaccurate glossy brochure offering people a chance to buy supposedly lucrative metals vital to most of the world’s industry.

And at Blackfriars Crown Court this week gang ringleaders Christopher Sabin, 44, from Sevenoaks and Tobias Ridpath, 52,from Hastings, were each jailed for nine years.
