Steven Adams, 34, targeted the terrified 19-year-old student, telling him he was part of the Lyons family in order to extort money from him.

A conman who posed as a member of a notorious Scots crime family to extort cash from a teenager was jailed today for 22 months.

Steph asked the teen to meet up on two occasions but he refused and continued to chat with her. On September 10, the teen received messages from Steph's "boyfriend" and "husband." Adams then mentioned the victim's sister's name which prompted him to send him £250 into the bank account of "Steven D Lyons" before blocking him.

He told officers that the teen had messaged his "partner" and said that he "could have" mentioned Steven Lyons while drunk. Adams added that his "partner" knew nothing about the money.
