“A fraudster who pretended to be quadriplegic and sometimes comatose for two years to avoid prosecution has been convicted after police caught him on camera driving and strolling around supermarkets.
Prosecutors say Alan Knight of Swansea, Wales, stole more than £40,000 from an elderly neighbour with Alzheimer’s disease.
When police began investigating, Knight claimed to be quadriplegic and so sick he sometimes fell into a coma. He checked himself into a hospital to avoid court appearances.” *
