Man charged with fraud after 92 year old woman given fake coronavirus vaccination

A man accused of tricking a 92-year-old woman out of £160 for a fake coronavirus vaccination has been charged with fraud and common assault.

David Chambers is accused of administering the fake vaccine at her Surbiton home in London last month.

The 33-year-old, also from Surbiton, is charged with five offences including fraud and going outside in a tier four area without a good reason.

He denied the charges when he appeared before magistrates on Friday.

Mr Chambers was remanded in custody until a hearing on 12 February.

In the UK, coronavirus vaccines are free of charge and available via the NHS.
