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 from an organised crime group jailed for plotting to steal fuel worth hundreds of thousands of pounds from UK depots - including on Anglesey.

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

At the time, the judge said the fuel had been "sloshing" about in unsafe containers and there could have been "catastrophic" consequences if anything had gone wrong.
