Conrad Williams slipped on a hi-vis, faked 'air of legitimacy' and drove away 10 expensive cars before anyone suspected a thing

A career conman who wore a high-vis vest and told valets he had been authorised to collect their customers' cars only to go on and steal high-value vehicles is finally behind bars.

Brazen Conrad Williams, 29, targeted Yorkshire car salespeople, valets and office workers during a three-month spree that saw him steal 10 high-value cars.

Leeds Crown Court heard on Wednesday how Williams - who has been appearing before the courts since he was 15 - continued to steal vehicles from businesses across the county even after he had been arrested. Prosecutor Stephanie Hollis said Williams was joined by an accomplice who drove him to the locations in a van with cloned or false registration plates and he would steal the vehicles.
