No jail for £68k benefit thief

A benefits cheat who claimed £68,000 of public money while working has avoided jail.

Mutombo Kandanda, 38, pleaded guilty to seven counts of making false benefits claims between 2004 and 2008.

Kandanda, from West Drayton, was earning £1,300 per month at the time.

At Isleworth Crown Court he was given a 12 month suspended prison sentence, and ordered to complete 200 hours community service.
