Man using false number plates caught
January 14th, 2009 by admin
A Formby man was prosecuted after using false number plates to fool CCTV cameras at a filling station on the bypass while filling up with thirty four pounds worth of fuel and then driving off without paying. The registration was traced to another man in Childwall whose car had been involved in a road traffic accident a couple of days before. Unfortunately police recognised the offender who had been interviewed a couple of days earlier about another matter. He was found guilty and ordered to do 110 hours of unpaid community service work over the next 12 months. He was also given 6 penalty points for driving away on the wrong side of the road.
