A man who stole from a disabled pensioner he was staying with in Clevedon has been jailed.

Steven Porter took seventeen hundred pounds from John Betten's bank account, and used it to buy car insurance in his name - despite being banned from driving.

He was arrested after crashing his Vauxhall vectra, and charged with resisting a police officer, theft and fraud.

The thirty-six year old originally denied the offences but changed his plea to guilty just before he was due to go on trial.
