Gang sold £1million worth of stolen diggers and dumper trucks to customers across the world
Three members of a gang that sold stolen machinery worth more than £1m from across the North West have been jailed.
Detectives launched an investigation after one victim, who had a digger stolen from him, noticed an identical vehicle was being sold from the unit on the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate in Nelson. Officers visited the site and although the digger had been moved on, they caught two men, Max Wynn and Alex Grice, in the act of cloning another stolen machine.
The same day, officers attended another unit in Clayton-le-Moors where they seized three more stolen machines. During the investigation, evidence relating to 41 more machines was uncovered. He also spent some of it on himself and used it to buy further stolen items. Paperwork revealed that he charged all of his customers VAT but never submitted a tax return, instead pocketing the extra money himself.
Richard Wynn, the older brother of Max Wynn, helped to transport and deliver machines to customers. He sometimes dealt with prospective purchasers and helped facilitate the money laundering part of the operation. One said: "I have been trading in the plant/machinery business for over 20 years and my business has been built on trust and goodwill. Immediately on receiving the information from the police I have felt like my good name has been tarnished, and helpless to do anything about it.”
