John Foggo
And on June 14 he went to a house on Old Bank Road in Mirfield and used the window-cleaning con to trick an 82-year-old woman into handing over some money.
The offence Foggo committed while on bail happened on July 1 when he went into the home of an 80-year-old man on Hunsworth Lane in Cleckheaton and stole a camera.
The victim was outside at the time and Foggo spoke to him briefly before he left.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “This man targeted mainly those who were elderly or vulnerable.
“We welcome the sentence passed and it demonstrates the severity of the crimes Foggo committed.
“We would always advise that people ask for identification before handing over any money as payment for services.’’
Any suspicious activity should be reported to police on 0845 6060606.
