Today, £50,000 of public money and charitable donations disappear from a charity set up to help sick children in need of life-changing operations. A callous conman impersonates an NHS worker to fleece an elderly victim over a fake Covid-19 vaccination, and we join the fight against illegal fly-tippers who are costing local councils millions of pounds each year.
