'Embarrassed' pensioner unable to heat his home after campervan con

An "embarrassed" pensioner was left unable to heat his own home after a serial scammer's campervan con.

Brian Langton was forced to live in one room and feared that he might lose his house after Andrew Evans swindled him out of £55,000. The "despicable" fraudster led his victim to cash machines 150 times and pocketed the up to £250 per throw he would withdraw.

The 80-year-old described how he felt "embarrassed and betrayed" after discovering he had been targeted by the callous scheme. This came after suspicious staff at a branch of Santander alerted the police fearing that Mr Langton was being coerced into handing over his money.
