In December 2020, the owner of the business began receiving emails from utility companies and providers about unpaid bills. At first, Stevenson explained the lack of funds as being down to guests failing to turn up due to Covid restrictions. The victim was told there had been suspicious activity on his account which required a replacement bank card. On that same day, Molloy attended the victim's home address and collected his bank card, which was immediately used at an ATM in Wetherby to withdraw £300.00 before it was used at the Apple Store at Meadowhall in Sheffield to purchase nearly £8,000 worth of goods.
