Jerry Johnson, 49, of

He was sentenced to a total of two years and five months imprisonment the same day.

On June 8, Johnson

Detective Constable Kerry 
Mitchell of Thames Valley Police said: “We would like to remind members of the 
public not to accept offers of work from people canvassing door to door.”
