These included faking importation documents for underage puppies and selling puppies without a licence in 2020, with advertisements showing she had the potential to make £173,000 from the sales while misleading potential buyers over the reasons they were being sold. “There were exposed wires, nails and screws, and broken pieces of wood and tools throughout. The conditions were completely uninhabitable.
Jenner added: “It transpired that Anderson-Letts had previously been issued an animal banning order and showed complete disregard to the judicial system by continuing to involve herself with puppies.” During sentencing at Kingston crown court in south-west London, Judge Marcus Tregilgas-Davey said: “What is clear, investigations show Micaela Anderson-Letts was part of a Facebook group advertising these dogs for sale.Police also discovered two dead pigs in the garden of the defendant’s then home in Surbiton, south-west London, on 19 May 2020 during a Covid lockdown. She told officers the animals had died of illness seven days earlier.
However, the sentence was suspended for two years, taking into account she has a young child and caring responsibilities.
