A WOMAN who lied to police about a Porsche Boxter being stolen has been sentenced.

Katy Littleboy, 34, from Fleetwood Avenue, Westcliff, said she was the victim of a carjacking on the A140 in Stoke Ash, Suffolk, and her £54,000 Porsche had been stolen.

The hairdresser said she stopped in a lay-by, on November 2, 2010, after a car behind her had flashed its lights and the driver of the other car got out and threatened her before driving off in the Porsche.

She was given a five-month jail sentence suspended for 12 months and a six-month supervision order today at Ipswich Crown Court.

She had admitted three charges of fraud by false representation in court last month and one charge of possession of false identity documents.
