A Surbiton man has denied selling a fake vaccine to a woman, 92, in the town.

David Chambers is accused of administering the fake vaccine to Kathleen Martin at her Surbiton home on 30 December for £160 and returning five days later for a further £100.

The 33-year-old pleaded not guilty at Kingston Crown Court to two counts of fraud and one count of battery.

Judge Judith Coello set a trial date for 9 August.

Mr Chambers, from Surbiton, appeared at court via a video-link from Wandsworth Prison and was remanded in custody.

It follows an investigation by the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) at City of London Police.

In the UK, coronavirus vaccines are free of charge and available through the NHS.
