Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A HAULAGE contractor, five drivers, two fitters and a housewife are to face crown court proceedings over the theft of lorries and loads worth more than £90,000.

The nine were all committed for trial at Teesside crown court when they appeared before Bishop Auckland magistrates last week.

Another man, who had originally been charged with handling three trailer axles, was told by the police no evidence would be offered against him. All the charges were withdrawn.

Among the list of property alleged to have been stolen or handled by the nine are £34,000 worth of boxed wine and a £17,000 load of yarn. The nine are: John Bainave, (38), a haulier, of Bishop Auckland; John Clarey (47), a fitter, of Peterlee; Paul Clarey (20), an apprentice fitter, of Coundon; Graham Falla (36), a driver, Newton Aycliffe; Dennis Gillott (36), a driver, Shildon; Teddy Sudgen (34), a driver, of West Auckland; Arthur Bamber, (48), a driver, of Darlington; William Bauld, (36), a driver, of Worksop, and Josephine McIntosh (29), a housewife, of Herdon.
