COVID-19: Fraudster injected 92-year-old woman with fake coronavirus vaccine.

Police are hunting for a man who injected a 92-year-old woman with a fake coronavirus vaccine and charged her £160.

Detectives have warned that the suspected conman "may endanger people's lives" unless he is caught.

The victim allowed him into her home in Surbiton, southwest London, on 30 December after he said he was from the NHS.
She said she was jabbed in the arm with a "dart-like implement" and was told to pay £160, which the fraudster said would be refunded.

It is not known what substance - if any - was injected, but the woman showed no ill effects after being checked over at her local hospital.

Detective Inspector Kevin Ives from the City of London Police said: "This is a disgusting and totally unacceptable assault on a member of the public which won't be tolerated.
"It is crucial we catch him as soon as possible as not only is he defrauding individuals of money, he may endanger people's lives."


He is described as a white man in his early 30s, who is around 5ft 9in tall, of medium build, with light brown hair that is combed back and speaks with a London accent.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 3042 and the date 7 January 2021, or contact Crimestoppers.





This is absolutely terrible. Poor woman, God knows how many more this con artist had done this to. :(
 
this makes me so god damn angry ! what an absolute piece of crap excuse for a human being , I hope they catch this scum and he gets what he deserves , :mad:
Yeah, Makes you so angry doesn't it? taking advantage of an awful situation and the poor lady :mad:
 
This country has gone soft, they will catch him, but they won’t do much, he’ll get a financial penalty, if he does incur a custodial sentence it will only be 12 months, of which he’ll only do half.

Sadly you are correct

I hope this woman has now had the injection and that someone has secured her home properly and has put in support for her so she is never abused like this again!
