Convictions in 7.5 million mile car clocking conspiracy case

Fleet News (27 February) reports on the convictions of five individuals for conspiracy to commit fraud, arising out clocking activities that wiped an astonishing 7.5 million miles off the mileage of a hundred cars in the possession of the chauffeur services company they worked for.

The defendants were found guilty after a six-week jury trial at Chester Crown Court: two other defendants were acquitted.
