A fraudulent conman has been sentenced to six months behind bars after he tricked an Alzheimer 's patient into believing he would do building work on his property before charging him £12,000.

Martin Paul Jacks of Greystoke Drive, Bilborough, Nottingham was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on November 11 after he pleaded guilty to the crimes committed between 2014 and 2017.

The 41-year-old swindler, who claimed he worked for a company called 'Riverside', visited the man at his home in Grantham multiple times over a period of three years to sell him building work on his property which he never intended to complete.

Over the course of these visits, Mr Jacks took over £12,000 in cheques from the vulnerable man and was eventually caught out by concerned neighbours, Lincolnshire Live reports.
