A "vile" thief who conned an elderly man with Alzheimers disease out of £15,000 has been jailed.
Thomas Boswell, 53, of Sefton Road, Epsom, duped the Raynes Park man out of his savings between 2009 and 2011. Following a police money laundering investigation, Boswell, from the travelling community, was tracked down to a bank account he was using. At that time, Boswell had just started working a con on a new victim in Surbiton, but was arrested after an activation on an Automatic Number Plate Reader. The Surbiton victim also suffered from Alzheimer's and was scammed out of £560 before dying at the start of the year. He was sentenced to 21 months and 18 months in prison for two charges of fraud by false representation.
