After nicking £1000 worth of luxury cars & stuff, the crims must repay£1 each!
What's with the bolshy reply? local rep??? It wasn't mewho began the thread bemoaning the triviality of the amount. N ow you try to get at me?
You're a cock.. You think they should be let off with a slapped wrist?
If the full range of sentencing was used some of these assholes might think twice before the do this kind of thing
When crims are ordered to repay a nominal £1 from their criminal profit it's because the prosecution is satisfied they have spent the swag and are unable to identify assets they own of any value which can be seized and sold. The five people in this case owned one item between them worth nabbing valued at £2K (possibly a car). That's the weakness of the Proceeds of Crime Act, it incentivises spending of profits made from acquisitive crimes.
Bloody hell! I've stirred a hornets's nest here.
Yes, I noticed the prison sentences - they'll probably be out in half their time, and I bet they'll miraculously have more than £1 of assets when they do.
BTW - WTF has Australia got to do with it?
