The police officers whose investigation led to the jailing of a serial romance fraudster for 11 years said he was “the most prolific and heartless” person carrying out this kind of fraud they had ever come across.
David Checkley, who also used the alias David Cohen, was sentenced on Wednesday after being found guilty of 19 counts of fraud and one count of theft after Met detectives linked his offending across the UK and identified a number of high value assets.
