One of the many stories this morning grabbed my attention.
This was of the 70-year-old so-called pensioner, who had previously spent four years in jail for drug dealing, who was stopped for a minor motoring offence in Kent. Police were surprised to discover a holdall in the car containing £80,000 which the man explained was to buy a pair of trousers.
His previous conviction suggested that there might be more cash lying around somewhere, and the police searched his home. They discovered £500,000 stashed in the toilet cistern panelling and another £51,000 in a wardrobe. And the result of those discoveries was that the man had a total of £763,901 confiscated by a court.
The man will find living on a state pension very different to what he might have been used to. But, on the other hand, he can get a decent pair of trousers in Sainbury’s for just a tenner!
