Gang member made more than £60k from fuel plot

BUT HE WILL ONLY NEED TO PAY BACK NOMINAL SUM OF £1

- By DAVID POWELL Daily Post Reporter

A MAN who plotted to steal fuel from depots across North Wales need only repay a tiny fraction of what he made. Khalid Mohammed made more than £60,000.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard he benefited to the tune of £61,360.53 but that there is no money available to claw back from him. A judge ruled he need only repay the nominal sum of £1.

In July, Mohammed was one of two members of an organised crime group jailed for plotting to steal fuel worth hundreds of thousands of pounds from UK depots - including on Anglesey and in Deeside and Wrexham.

A court heard how they would arrange for accomplices to siphon fuel into containers at night before taking it away on trucks to be sold.
