Nicholas Stewart, from Blackpool, was branded a danger to public health after he was caught selling bottles of fake spirits filled with urine

A conman named Nicholas Stewart was branded a danger to public health after he was caught selling bottles filled with urine as whisky to tourists.

Nicholas Stewart was arrested after he was seen trying to sell the one and a half litre bottles of fake whisky and vodka to holidaymakers for £10, a court heard.

Scientific analysis revealed some drinks merely contained flat cola but in others they found evidence of human waste.

Blackpool Council prosecutor Victoria Cartmell said the drinks had probably been laced with faeces and urine to give the colour of whisky.

The 35-year-old, from Blackpool, was spared jail for the sickening offence and was handed a 70 day jail term suspended for 12 months after he admitted fraud.

Prosecutors are now working with police to impose a CRASBO to ban him from selling anything on the streets of Blackpool.
