A security guard who worked at vaccination sites stole empty Covid jab vials before flogging them on eBay. Steven Flint, 34, was working as a contract security guard at three sites during the peak of the vaccination rollout at the start of last year.

But his scam was uncovered when post office CCTV footage and his eBay account details were spotted by authorities. His own diligent admin also landed him in hot water, when cops raided his home in Tadworth, Surrey, and found a pile of package receipts filed away that linked him to the sales.

Officers also found empty vaccine vials as well as the multiple receipts for packages posted to his eBay buyers.
