Sammy Kimmence will begin repaying the £55,000 he owes from an OAP scam with designer Louis Vuitton bags and jewellery, a court has heard.

The 25-year-old was jailed last month for three and a half years for conning two pensioners out of £34,000 by persuading them to let him invest their money, but instead splashing the money on clothes, hotels and restaurants.

Portsmouth Crown Court today heard that the former stockbroker will hand over two Louis Vuitton monochrome bags, £699 personalised number plate, jewellery and three pair of valuable trainers to pay off the first £5,000 he owes.

Prosecutor Mike Mason told the hearing: ‘It is made up of a personalised numberplate, worth £699, and jewellery and clothing, making it up to £5,099.’

He added that the trainers make up the ‘vast bulk’ of the sum.

Kimmence, the ex boyfriend of Dani Dyer, has to pay Peter Martin £3,926 – which will go to his estate as the 91-year-old has since passed away – and Peter Haynes, 81, £1,173 within the next three months.

The total figure – £54,859.22 – amounts to how much Kimmence made conning the two men, and is split into three parts £35,896.46 for the five charges, £13,863.26 of cash deposited in his Lloyds and Santander account and £5,099 of assets in his house.

The rest of the money owed will be paid when Kimmence earns money once he is released from prison.

While the courts have the power to seize assets from a criminal’s home to recompense victims, Kimmence handing over the assets means that officers will not have to visit Dyer’s home to perform an audit of his assets.

Kimmence only spoke at the hearing to say his name, and wore a mask, a navy jumper and dark tracksuit bottoms.

At his sentencing, a lawyer for Kimmence said that he had saved up £10,000 to repay his victims and had been intending to train to become a quantity surveyor, having lost a job as a City trader because of the legal proceedings against him.

He was sentenced to 42 months in prison after pleading guilty to five counts of fraud.

The court heard that the offences involved Kimmence taking money from two elderly men aged 90 and 80 between 2016 and 2018, claiming that he would invest the money through his company S&S Trading Ltd but failing to do so.

Mr Haynes, an RAF veteran, said that he was left ‘living on the breadline’ after losing £8,820 to Kimmence.

Kimmence wept in the stand at his sentencing and called himself ‘an awful human being’.

While Dyer, 25, initially vowed to stand by her boyfriend, she has since dumped him, and is raising their son Santiago as a single mum.

The pair, who first dated before Dyer entered the Love Island villa in 2018, rekindled their romance in 2019 after Dyer’s split from Jack Fincham.

The reality star, who is the daughter of EastEnders star Danny Dyer, welcomed their son Santiago in January.
