Muslim Police Community Officer jailed for conning Birmingham women

Left: Naeem Naguthney.

In 2008 he told two American Christians in Alum Rock that they could not preach there, and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.

Although the public called for him to be sacked, he was simply moved to Erdington.

Now Naguthney has been jailed for a year for conning two women out of nearly £8,000 by lying to them that he was in debt.
