A shameless conman who filmed himself counting thousands of pounds in cash he scammed from elderly pensioners has been jailed.

Rohith-Reddy Kananala, 28, posed as a fraud investigator to prey on vulnerable people across the UK.

He told the victims their bank or building society had been compromised by criminals and persuaded them to withdraw their savings.

Kananala then told them to send the cash via Royal Mail special delivery to an address in Kimberley Road, Leicester.

The address was in fact Kananala's home which he used to receive the cash, signing for it as 'William'.
