A doctor and her husband who made almost £8,000 out of “sheer greed” selling personal protective equipment stolen from the NHS during the pandemic have been jailed for 10 months each.

Dr Attiya and Omer Sheikh sold personal protective equipment including gloves and face masks during the early months of the COVID-19 outbreak.
