A woman was caught fraudulently trying to use her late father's blue badge to avoid paying a city centre parking charge. Rooqia Malik, who earns £3,000 a month, was stopped by an enforcement officer after displaying the permit on her Lexus.
She confirmed it belonged to her father who had died a year ago. Malik, aged 47, from Birmingham, apologised for her actions. She said she was going to Boots and was in a hurry.
At Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, March 8, Malik admitted a charge of fraud by false representation. She was handed a 12-month conditional discharge, BirminghamLive reports.
