A fraudster who claimed she was bedridden to con more than £600,000 has been locked up, with the judge saying it was possibly the largest fraud of its type to come before the English courts.
Frances Noble, 66, fooled social workers to swindle tens of thousands of pounds of the care package money from Hertfordshire County Council.
The money was then passed onto her daughter and son-in-law who went on to enjoy luxury North American holidays in Canada, San Francisco, Boston and Orlando.
