Cop paid £150k while saying he was too injured to work caught out by phone app

The Sun says a COP paid £150,000 while saying he was too injured to work was caught out by an app that showed him taking 10,000 steps a day.

PC Matthew Littlefair, 36, claimed he “couldn’t even lift a kettle” after a car crash.

He was on full pay and benefits for more than two years while he kept up the pretence.

But he was spotted playing football with his kids, jogging and cycling — and even swinging an axe in his back garden.

Investigators who examined his mobile found he had repeatedly been recorded taking 10,000 steps a day — the equivalent of five miles.
