A man who fraudulently sold Big Issue magazines has been jailed for 14 weeks.

Chris Brealey, 53, of Birkin Avenue, Hyson Green, Nottingham, admitted four counts of fraud and one of antisocial behaviour at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on 13 May, Nottinghamshire Police said.

The force also successfully applied for a criminal behaviour order, which prevents Brealey from selling magazines in Nottingham city centre for three years.

Sgt Paul Whitehead said: "Rogue vending of the Big Issue undermines the hard work of legitimate vendors, whilst fraudulently taking money from members of the public, which are behaviours which must be challenged."
