Brown also admitted causing a public nuisance by preventing COVID-19 booster jabs for 504 vulnerable people and a second charge of possessing a Class B drug after a quantity of cannabis was found at his home after he was arrested.

Brown was arrested yesterday after he was caught and identified on CCTV by covert cameras put up at the jab centre after two previous incidents. 

Superintendent Nathan Clark of Norfolk police said: after the case 'His actions prevented more than 500 people to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations. A large number of these people are elderly and this disruption will have caused them great anxiety.'
