A fraudster - who went on the run from justice for almost four years - was nabbed when she decided to slip back into Dover.

Crooked mum-of-one Joanna Kasiak was due to be sentenced in May 2009 on 22 charges involving £3000.

But instead she headed back to her native Poland – not realising an arrest warrant had been issued.

She returned to the UK in March to visit friends but was stopped by UK Border Agency officials.

The 22-year-old said she came to Britain as a teenager after being seduced by an older man she met at a fairground.

The couple set up home in Bedfordshire – before carrying out the frauds with a card taken from a neighbour.

Kasiak would later try to claim she thought it was her own money she was withdrawing during a three day spending spree at a shopping centre.

She was given a three-month jail sentence at Canterbury Crown Court after admitting the charges.
