A conman who stole half-a-million pounds from his victims, a thug who bit his girlfriend and a family locked up for a New Year's Day stabbing.
Here are some of the convicted criminals from Northamptonshire who were before the courts in May.
This is not an exhaustive list but a compilation of some of the cases heard in court.
9. ROBERT STUART
Stuart, of Corby, is already serving a prison sentence after he was caught with a large amount of drugs twice. He was ordered to pay back the proceeds of his crimes.
