A pharmacist was cleared today of deliberately duping a sick, vulnerable pensioner into believing the government had dramatically increased the price of her medicines.
After a three-day trial Jaspal Singh Cheema, 45, was found not guilty of defrauding the local woman out of £5,000 over a four-and-half year period.
Cheema was accused of cashing a total of sixty-seven cheques for extra migraine and irritable bowel syndrome medication and then trying to talk the victim out of pursuing the prosecution against him.
Cheema, of Cheyham Way, Sutton, boss of Imperial Pharmacy in nearby Epsom Road supplied the 65 year-old pensioner with extra doses of medicine when her prescription supply ran out.
He was cleared of defrauding Florence Harrison between January 15, 2007 and July 11, 2011 by dishonestly making false representations.
