A council employee who made nearly £250,000 by holding down four different jobs at multiple local authorities has been jailed for three years.
Bryn Howells, 66, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, worked for two district councils and another company which provided services to three more before he was caught.
The fraudster failed to declare his existing jobs and submitted false timesheets, allowing him to gain a salary and benefits totalling a whopping £236,000 between February 2022 and June 2023.
Howells worked simultaneously for Tewkesbury borough council, South Gloucestershire council and Publica Group.
He denied any wrongdoing, saying he was instead motivated by a desire to support local councils where skilled staff were in short supply.
