A career criminal once branded the 'scourge' of Manchester has been jailed after beating up and robbing a tourist just hours after he arrived in the city.
Drug addict Michael Conway-Williams, 43, has been convicted of 186 crimes during his 20 years of offending and has been in out and out of jail so much a judge once called him ''the poster boy for the revolving door prisoner". He has now been locked up again after breaking the nose of his victim from London as he walked back to his hotel after a night out with friends.
He was targeted for his Reiss crossbody bag with wallet, iPhone X1, £175 in cash and other personal items worth a total of £1,400. As well as being left bloodied and bruised, he has been left so terrified following the attack he is scared to go out and has refused to set foot in Manchester again.

Police will now apply for a Criminal Behaviour Order which is expected to ban him from his regular haunts and restrict his movements following his release. Conway-Williams had been using drugs since he was 13 and first came to public prominence in 2004 when he and his then-wife Shirley were each jailed for three years after targeted elderly ladies in 41
