• West Yorkshire haulier KenAA neth Standage, trading as Star Trucking, has been sentenced to 100 hours of community service after admitting the use of stolen tax discs. Bolton Crown Court also ordered him to pay £3,496 back duty.
Standage had used stolen discs on five of his trucks. He claimed to have bought them from a man in a pub.
On the same day Standage faced a series of charges before Eccles magistrates. He is accused of two offences of using a vehicle without an excise licence, one offence of failing to issue a driver with sufficient tachograph charts, one offence of not having a height marker on one of his vehicles, and one offence of using a vehicle without a test certificate.
The magistrates adjourned those charges until December.
