This dramatic bodycam shows a roof top chase as police captured a fraudster who conned the elderly out of thousands.

The footage shows officers pursuing four men on the roofs of buildings - climbing up and down drains and walls.

Officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit began investigating the Islington gang after discovering a victim in the Cirencester.

A warrant was executed at a property in April last year.

But members of the gang tried to escape through an upstairs window, officers gave chase across the rooftops, eventually catching and arresting them.

The four men, who have all since been jailed for conspiring to commit fraud by false representation, preyed on dozens of elderly victims and conned them out of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Mohammed Rahman, 27, of Leirum Street, Shoriful Islam, 24, of Highbury New Park, Muhammed Hussain, 24, of Collier Street and Muhammed Maarjan, 23, of James Morgan Mews, were jailed on Friday for a total of 20 years and eight months.
