A confidence trickster founded his own political party in Bideford and stood for election on a platform of ‘honesty and transparency’ while swindling companies out of thousands of pounds.
Timothy Ahlbeck set up a string of companies and claimed to be a duke, lord or doctor while in reality he was an undischarged bankrupt and banned from running any business.
He fleeced creditors by filing false returns which showed he had assets of £200,000 when he was penniless and trying to run a market stall in Newton Abbot.
He registered The People’s Party UK ltd as the name of one of his companies and stood as an Independent in Torbay’s local elections in 2019.

A panicking cannabis dealer was seen throwing thousands of pounds worth of drugs out of a window as police waited for him to open the front door.
Officers who had gone to the house in Barnstaple looking for Jamie Ousley’s brother ended up arresting him instead after recovering his huge stash from the back garden.
Bricklayer Ousley was a heavy user of cannabis who bought in bulk and sold some of the surplus on to friends, Exeter Crown Court was told.
He had more than £8,000 worth as well as scales and snap bags but police were not able to find out the scale of his business because he refused to give them the PIN number of his phone.
