A fantasist was jailed for two years today after conning police into thinking he was a James Bond-style secret agent.Michael Newitt, 41, was sentenced at Leicester Crown Court for impersonating a police officer and possessing fake ID cards, replica guns and articles of police uniform.
Newitt arrived at Hinckley police station, in Leicestershire, claiming that he was "Commander Newitt" of the Metropolitan Police.
The father-of-five said he was on a counter-terrorism operation in the county and tricked an officer into giving him a new pocket book.
Newitt’s fake ID documents were carried in a leather wallet emblazoned with a crown. The letters CMG - standing for a high-ranking award fictitiously presented to James Bond in the story From Russia with Love - were printed after his name.
