• Haulier Kenneth Standage has been committed for trial at Bolton Crown Court on a series of charges involving the use of stolen vehicle excise licences.
Standage, trading as Star Trucking of Scotcham Lane, Morley, West Yorkshire had been arrested after failing to appear before Eccles magistrates in June (CM 13-19 June). He has been committed for trial accused of five offences of forgery in the making of a false instrument, five offences of the fraudulent use of vehicle excise licences, and one offence of handling stolen excise licences.
He was granted bail after he explained that he had been unable to attend court in June because a vehicle he was driving had broken down in Carlisle.
Standage is also 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 affixed to one of his vehicles, and one offence of using a vehicle without a test certificate.
